HKS Sport Muffler Exhaust System
For 1983–1987 Toyota AE86 Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno & 1984–1987 Corolla Sport SR5 / GT-S
Overview
The HKS Sport Muffler Exhaust System is a vehicle-specific performance exhaust designed for the classic rear-wheel-drive Toyota AE86 chassis. Its street-oriented design provides a sportier exhaust note and reduced exhaust restriction while maintaining a more restrained sound level than more aggressive performance exhaust systems.
The two-piece system combines a 60 mm center pipe, 83 mm exhaust tip, S409 stainless steel construction, and an over-differential layout engineered around the AE86 rear chassis. HKS publishes a 92 dB close-proximity exhaust level compared with an 85 dB stock reference.

Exhaust Design & Sound
The center pipe passes above the rear differential before connecting to the main muffler and 83 mm outlet. This over-differential layout keeps the exhaust routed closely to the original AE86 chassis configuration.
HKS describes its street-oriented Legal exhaust line as delivering a sporty but controlled sound while reducing exhaust backpressure compared with the factory muffler. HKS publishes approximately 150 mm of minimum exhaust-to-road clearance, with the measurement based primarily on a vehicle using stock suspension.

HKS Sport Muffler Exhaust System vs. HKS Hi-Power Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System
Both the HKS Sport Muffler Exhaust System and HKS Hi-Power Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust System are performance exhaust upgrades for the 1983–1987 Toyota Corolla Levin / Sprinter Trueno AE86, but they are designed for slightly different preferences in sound, appearance, and street use.
Choose the HKS Sport Muffler if you want a more refined and street-friendly exhaust. It uses 60mm piping with a smaller 83mm exhaust tip and has an HKS-rated close-proximity sound level of 92 dB. Its more understated appearance and quieter exhaust note make it a strong choice for street-driven, restoration, and OEM+ AE86 builds.
Choose the HKS Hi-Power if you want a louder, more aggressive exhaust sound and appearance. It also uses 60mm piping, but features a larger 94mm exhaust tip and an HKS-rated close-proximity sound level of 97 dB. Its larger tip and stronger exhaust presence make it better suited for modified or performance-oriented AE86 builds.
In short: choose the HKS Sport Muffler for a refined, classic, and street-friendly setup; choose the HKS Hi-Power for a louder, more aggressive exhaust sound and performance-oriented appearance.
