Get the Megan. HKS is not 3" all the way, plus you really just pay alot more for a name. I bought mine used off a friend so it didn't matter.

if you want a full 3" exhaust from the DP to the muffler get either the Megan (from Zeus) or the XSPower from Ebay for $199.00 shipped. I've used both with great results.

If you want to keep your stock DP & cat and don't care for max power get the HKS Hi-Power. I've used this one also and it does neck down in two places.

Your car, your choice.

At your mod level, there won't be much difference in power. The HKS will be not be as loud as the Megan, but that's about the only difference.

Impressive, have you ever drag raced the car? If so what are your trap speed?

What mods do you have? I wonder what a full 3" exhaust would gain you

Yeah....if you got a real 3" exahaust, you would be at 605hp.

I had a HKS Carbon Ti on my last EVO and will probably get it again. It only tapers where it connects to the cat and it will probably rob me of .5hp....if that. I'd rather had a nice sounding and good qualtiy exhaust that is gonna last me.
