Default hks hi-power

I have been searching around and I'm having a hard time finding out if the exhaust points straight back like the stock, or if it sticks to the side. anybody know what the stock fitment is?

i had the 65mm version and it is angled. fitment was fine. You might need some extended hangers if you have a rear lip.

Yeah, it is very slightly angled, but no where near as bad as the usual.

Slightly angled? wrong...it is angled...I have it too...one of the best angled jdm style exhaust...

OP, if you don't like the angled exhaust then you are better off with something else than HKS...

I would recommend a twin loop..

the twin loop is so expensive though. looking for under $800. kinda tight on cash with college and everything, but still want to stuff to the rsx.

OMG...I said twin loop...I didn't specify mugen twin loop...you could get a custom 2.5 inch diameter mid-pipe weld on to a obx stainless steel twin loop all under $300.

not sure... check the website for both exhausts and check what the diameter is for the piping of each exhaust. if your going for sound i would opt for the hks over the greddy

I think they are the same unless you get the hi-power turbo version which is 65mm OD. I had both systems and I lost some bottom end with the 65mm hks but gained a little more up top. The greddy is def better for daily driving since you wont loose much bottom and mid rand power. This is all butt dyno ofcourse.
