FS/FT: HKS Hi-Power Exhaust

As the title states, I am looking to sell or trade HKS Hi-Power cat-back exhaust from my '06 WRX.

It was bought brand new and installed last October with about 9,000-10,000 miles driven since than. Outside of needing a little cleaning and polishing (which I will do once it is off), the exhaust is in very good condition.

Below is the link to the HKS USA website for official product description:
http://www.hksusa.com/products/?id=715

Below are my personal experiences with the exhaust:

Pros:
* 75mm (3 inch) SUS304 stainless steel piping
* Unrestricted piping design with great flow
* Performance gains you can feel through out the RPM range (quicker spool on the bottom end and better breathing at the top end)
* Everything but the muffler and tip is powder coated/painted in high temperature mat-black finish (I think for better heat retaining properties). Can be made even stealthier with a coat of black high temperature paint on the muffler. I had a friend do this with surprisingly good results.
* Deep pronounced racy sounding burble sound to show off the signature boxer engine sound
* Off-set/angled design of the muffler

Cons:
* The sound is on the louder side as compared to other exhausts due to the straight through/free flow piping design and 120 mm tip.
* Off-set/angled design of the muffler

Price:
I paid around $625 for it including taxes and install (yes, I know that I probably paid too much), looking for $350 OBO. Pictures coming soon as well.

Picture:
Below is a close up picture of the exhaust on my car. It's slightly older picture, but I do not have a camera right now to take an updated picture. As I have said, I will clean it up once it is off.

EDIT 07/22: I will be getting a Borla Hush cat-back very shortly, so I no longer need a new exhaust. However, I will still entertain all non-exhaust trades.

EDIT 07/23: Posted picture of the exhaust

You paid too much for the Hi Power. I just bought a new Hi Power for $490 shipped.

Free bump for you though.

Thanks for the bump...I should probably edit it to say $625 with taxes installed (probably still too much)...I bought it through my old performance shop back in Midwest when I still lived there...

Oh, that is a good one...Unfortunately, I will be buying a Borla Hush from someone else, so I really do not have a need for a new exhaust...so, I either need to sell the HKS or trade it for a non-exhaust performance part...

Also, no low ball offers please, I am not desperate for money or in extreme hurry to sell it either.
