www.2kracing.com and www.prostreetonline.com have hks hi-power exhaust for $568 shipped and $527 w/o shipping. I know some people have been looking for this exhaust and these are the best prices I have found so far. $710 at the hks site. Also I was planning on ordering the aussie midpipe with high flow cat and was wondering if it would be worth it to spend the extra $$ on stainless steel. thx

the only part of my aussie system thats stainless is the cat back portion. Other than that everything is mild steel, less likely to crack. I didnt know they even offered the mp in ss. (I could be totally off on this but I doubt it)

they offer everything but the dp

is that HKS just cat-back?

that's more than the aussie if it is

if not i might go for it...

65mm is only 2.5" though...

The HKS is catback.
The Hi-power one is 75mm (3 inch) piping.

Depends on how you look at it, my aussie cat back cost me like $850, I do have the twin tip in ss though.

The old Hi-Power was 60 or 65mm, but it was discontinued and replaced with the new Silent Hi-Power, which is 75mm piping and a 120mm tip.

If I had the choice and finances for it, I would sell my Aussie mild steel catback and replace it with the Silent Hi-Power.

Its 75mm piping catback exhaust. So a mildsteel midpipe would be just as good?

The HKS Hi-Performance (silent or whatever it's being called) exhaust system will fit on the 165 but you'll have to either bend or cut the (muffler side) tow bar to completely clear the HKS cannister. The mid-pipe section is a bit tight but very doable (you can fabricate a 'Home Depot' spacer or something).

I'm pretty sure the whole Aussie is stailess. Including dp. That was my understanding when I bought it.

You can get the Aussie MP and Catback in either Mild Steel or Stainless

According to the aussie website, the DP is only available in mild steel. Maybe they used to offer a SS pipe, but discontinued it?

My HKS is a Hi-Power and is 75mm. NONE of the HKS Hipers / Hi-Power / Whatever were 65mm. The only was that was 65mm was the HKS Sport.

aussie no longer offers the downpipe in stainless steel. whether they did before, i don't know. their reasoning is that mild steel is less likely to crack under the extreme heats that are put on a dp (i'm sure everyone has seen pictures of, or witnessed a glowing dp). whereas stainless steel will crack (bad thing no matter how you look at it).
