I recently bought an HKS hi-power exhaust for my s13, hatchback. I didnt really think alot before i bought the exhaust i need some help to calm me down. haha. Is there any really big benefits of running that exhaust to the ebay ones besides the fact of the sound? i have an RB25 in my car aswell. 3.2inches 4.5 inches is the piping?

Thanks

The ebay ones will crack and not fit good. Im not one to spend 500 on an exhaust, but sometimes ebays not worth it, try isis they have setups for 250-300 and Ive heard alot of good things about them

Yes, pipes are pipes, but some fit better than others.

some fit much closer to the underbody. cheap ebay ones hang too low, the muffler sidewall is so thin that the mounts will eventually rip off. i have always had better luck just getting a custom one at an exhaust shop. every car i own, i buy a quality down pipe, and a quality muffler (other than the cheap megan i have on my coupe), and bring them to an exhaust shop to get the pipe ran between.

As a performance parts sales man, I'm going to break some serious news to all of you.

what fitment?...get a BC Spec 2. HKS canister is over sized imo.

HP aside...the quality exhaust brands are going to have better fitment, durability, and resonance.

I was thinking about getting the BC Spec 2, is it too loud?
