Exhaust question... HKS

One of my friends was selling his Civic and game me his Hp Mid-Section Exhaust ...
I have a ractive muffler (yeah i know it sucks) and HP Race Header 4-1

Now I'm wondering.... Should I buy a HKS Rear Section to go with the HP mid section???
or get rid off everything and buy a new catback exhaust???

I know everybody is gonna suggest buy a new exhaust (Tanabe) but is that combination that bad??? ( hp midsection + hks rea section ?? )

We are talking about 285$ vs 550$

thanks!

well it depends...do you want an awsome exhaust system, that looks, and sounds amazing? If you do, then stick with HKS

a full cat back cost about 450-500 dollars and hk rear section is like 350 dollars. I would rather spend an extra 100 to buy full cat back because you know it has straight through design = better flow = more gain? Even though you don't really feel it lol

Im not sure but I think someone on this site said that youll get better gains from HKS(rear section) than lets say Magnaflow(full cat-back) for example. Do you guys think that this is true?

Hmmm... Are we doubting Honda's intelligence? The car stock are perfectly design with the whole car in mind. We change all the parts that do not need to be change and ignore the parts our cars need. Intake gives you the most gains, headers give you close to none, exhaust gives you minimal gains and a better sound. Suspension mods are probably the most bang for your bucks. The price you pay is the quality you gain and feel. HKS came out with the rear section because they gained more with the axle back. The only major thing that separates the K20A2 for the Type-R motor is the air flow in the intake. Sure, the cams, pistons, and the redline are different in the engines, but those parts just finely tunes the power band. The difference between the two engines in 20 hp and dont you gain about 20 with a CAI on the Type-S engine?
