Two choices: HKS Hi Power or Ultimate Racing Dual exhaust?

Ive come down to these 2 catbacks for my X and have been debating on which one to get for a couple weeks.
The HKS is a quality peice and have heard it sounds incredible and has an awesome price point for a great JDM exhaust.
The UR dual has the sound I am looking for where I hear zero engine whine and pure exhaust grumble. Plus the price is where it should be for just a catback, its just pipes.

What does everyone think?

Tips won't sag if you position the rubber hangers correctly.

it wont sag, you just have to rotate that rubber hanger that hold the exhaust on each side. search for the tread on that hi power exhaust here and youll be convinced to buy it. and you can get for $650.00 shipped.pm me if you want to know where i bought it.downside it they dont carry a lot of stock in their store coz hks dont allow it . so i waited 2 weeks.

That outside rev video is when I freshly installed that exhaust. Now that it's broken in the tone that comes off of that exhaust is meaner and a lot smoother. I'll take a new vid of the exhaust note sometime this week.

Yep. You Evom guys are devouring our stock on dual exit catbacks. April was an amazing month for us. We are simply waiting on more backordered materials to arrive. ETA on them is end of this week, beginning of next. We are still taking orders on these. They are shipping on a first come first serve basis.

All of our catback's are made in-house.
