i have both of them and really like it.

 

waste of money

 

I don't think it is a waste of money if you're on a tight budget. They do provide more hp can be a good value to the person on a budget. Just like me. And plus you can make the pipe like the Stromug downpipe or however you spell it pretty easily for around $50 to $70 i hear. That said, IMO the HKS is not as horrible as everyone says.

i havent heard much about the hks uppipe, but the dp isnt the greatest. it may not be a waste of money, but it doesnt perform as well as the other dp's with a bell mouth design. it does get rid of the two cats, and has a 3in diameter, and probably smoother than the stock dp, so im sure it gives performance gains.

 

Depends. I got mine for $80 and for another $60 it would be a bell-mouth design. Seems like a good deal to me.

 

Hey Vic, on the other thread u were sort of "agreeing" with the other guy that it doesn't replace the stock midpipe and now you're saying it gets rid of the last cat?

 

did it? whoops. sorry marshall.

 

I've heard a lot of negative things about the hks downpipe. i'd probably stay away from it.

 

perrin or helix. can't go wrong with either

 

helix up and down = super duepr
