suprise... an EXHAUST questiono..HKS anyone?

Before you go off and tell me to do a search, believe me I spent at least half an hour looking at old threads.
Questions:
1. Looking to buy the HKS rear section, where does OPT Auto get off selling them for $288 and tornactive $349?
2. Read lots of stuff about the MOZART rear section, but where does anyone buy one? Good quality or what?
3. on the HKS Hiper rear section, first I assume it bolts right up to the stock mid-section pipe... and does material inside "burn out" after time?
4. Saw lots of pictures, but does anyone have a sound clip of the HKS Hiper section?
That is all....
If Options Auto Salon is for real with that price, I will be ordering the HKS hiper rear from them.[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

GB is offering $286, but I would have to wait until February. I'd rather pay another $2 from OPT AUTO and get it now... but still not completely sure if its the exhaust I want...... but more sure than any other system I've seen so I'll probably order tomorrow.

JDMCIVIC, I see you currently have DC TCS.... I you don't like it then?
Ok, questions... no answers... rear section bolts right onto stock mid section with stock resonator to keep things quiet....doesn't burn out like a glass pack and fits on ex sedan without buring bumper.... if yes to all these, Im getting it.

The Mozart is probably not the best in quality compared to HKS. I had a HKS Drager rear section on my '97 coupe and it bolted up perfect to the midpipe and fit just like the stock one. The packing will burn up some over time and get louder just like any exhaust. I paid about $450 from Options for that one.

I still remember the day I got my exhaust on. One moment I was looking at a wussy stock muffler, the next it was a perfect GReddy Evo. It really will make you love your car like 2x as much. Oh and the sound is so awesome, I don't know about the HKS, but I loved cruising around that day with the deep rumble of the Evo. The sound is so noticeable the first time you drive it after install. Well good luck with yours

evo was my second choice, like the sound clip, but the price and the "hugeness" of it kinda turn me off so I think I will go with the HKS, I think its cool looking all crooked and whatnot[IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-puke.gif[/IMG]

hey man, you think its a good idea to get the HKS rear section from what u've researched? Im like you, looking for a decent exhaust thatsounds well, and i think thats a good deal for a decent system. You think its worth 300? or should i stick with a muffler and pipe for 150? or will it not hold up as well and all

Ive been also looking at some exhaust and I think I made my choice to go with the HKS rear section. I would like to hear a sound clip though. I know their is one on this site with a turbo civic, but thats not what Im looking for. Ive also considered the Greddy but its kind of heavy. Ive tried to search for the hks sound clip but I couldnt find it. If anyone wants to help a brother out Ill appreciate it
