#1: I want Yashio Factory, but don't want to wait for it, nor pay $600 + customs charges for it#2: I want something that you don't see all the time#3: I like brand centric modifications and I already have an HKS wastegate actuator and E-01 timer in the mail

So, thoughts on the Hi Power turbo version? 85mm piping and 120mm tip.

ok, I have the 85mm HKS hiper turbo catback exhaust with a redtop sr20det engine. Its a two piece design. The piping itself is huge. I would figure around 3.4 inch or so. The first piece goes onto the cat and its pretty straight. Second one containing the Muffler connects to the other piece, the design of the piping goes straight, then if you're looking from the back of the car, the piping aims towards the left and up. I would say left maybe 25 to 30 degrees. And aims up around 20 degrees. Overall the look of it from the back is pretty nice.

Now the sound of it is a bit loud. I had the Apex N1 full exhaust before and it was pretty low sounding rumble, and not as raspby. Though the HKS hiper is not one of the most quite exhaust out there, i wouldn't consider it "ricey." The low end revving, saying like when you're engaging your clutch, or low end driving - it has a nice low rumbling tone. Similiar to the Apex N1, just a tad but louder. Then when you start pushing it, its pretty loud - but its what you would expect from it. The tone is even and doesn't not resemble that of the generic weld on exhaust you would buy at ebay. In the end its a very nice exhaust. I would say right in the middle - louder than the Apex N1 and lower than say a Tanabe Medallion.

good choice, I wanted the rare JDM ones too but they're a tad on the expensive side. The hks hi power is nice enough for me.
