the hks is around $300 while the full cat back JIC is $580. that is hardly the same. maybe i missunderstood you. the $580 price is about normal for that system. rare trick has it for $585 and the axle back for $450. what is the point of having stainless under your car? if you show your car i see the point but otherwise i don't understand. if you got the cash go for it. other wise stick with the axle back. my two cents. by the way the semi Ti is $792. peace

Does JIC make any other parts for the MP3

Believe me man, if anyone knows the price of the JIC it would be me. As far as the HKS goes, you really are wasting you money since it's not a full catback. But, since different folks have different strokes. Some people want looks and some people want an actual performance gain when they buy something. Anyone their right mind should know that a rear section has pretty much no HP gain. Even if it does, you're gains will be minimal (1-3hp). So why not spend the extra money and get a catback exhaust system. That's my outlook on this whole thing. Furthermore, you can't get the 505 as an axle back. By the way, I am very aware of the price of the 505ST.(wink)
i don't know guys, im just not "feeling it"
i like HKS a lot. great sound and great horse power gains. all i know is that i dont want a tip that i can fist #$%*. i like the size of the tip on that one but the muffler looks really bland like one of those they would sell on ebay.... i like the whole piping idea, sounds pretty. But, i havent decided to go turbo or N/A yet and if turbo is the case (which it probably will be) then id like a larger pipe and larger muffler. tell these guys that make it to allow a choice of muffler and pipe diameter, and ill gladly scoop one up for my mp3 this year

I guess I went unheard. Well, you do have a point there. What it all comes down to is personal prefernce and looks. Price of course has a lot to do with it, but if someone isn't feeling the design, it just won't work. [/B][/QUOTE]im not speaking of the HKS axle back.. it is indeed a waste of time and money. im speaking of HKS cat backs and the muffler sound and stlye in general.... id like this exhaust system, if there was an HKS muffler on the end of it. i also am liking the JIC, but i have never heard it before
