3'' HKS hi power exhaust

I have DC downpipe and it connects to the HKS hi power exhaust, but where they connect i have a big exhaust leak.
Where can i get a gasket that will work with this setup i have looked any i cant find any real info on it.

also i noticed when i had my car up on the lift that the drive shaft has been hitting the exhaust. i checked both the exhaust brackets and the carrier bearing both seem good and tight. Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem before and how did you fix it?

i beleive if you go to megan racing's website they sell gaskets you can buy. as for the driveshaft trubbing, try putting some elbow grease into it and pull it away and see it helps

i think the HKS Hi-Power is the best looking exhaust made. if wasn't going for a sleeper look, thats what i would have for sure on my evo. it is definitely going on my GSx though!

It is pretty loud. I got to work sometimes at 3-4 AM...it will rattle my garage door.
The German locals here probably hate me.

I have the Hi-power with full 3 inch off the turbo and test pipe. its got a nice sound to it. not too loud until you get on it. I also had the same problem for a while so i rotated the test pipe and when i tightened it it pulled the whole thing away from the drive shaft so no probs anymore.

i have the same setup as you, dc downpipe, hks catback, and the gtspec mani, mine doesnt hit the driveshaft at all, but yeah, get the gaskets from jscspeed or something. haha I pulled into my freinds driveway while he was still in the shower upstairs, when he got out he called and asked if i was out front cuz the whole bathroom was rattling just from my idle, it has awesome sound in my opinion...and WOT makes you wanna slap your mama, lovin it

oh and i agree on the best looking as well, the angle it comes out at looks so aggressive, when i bolted it up i didnt even know the angle would be so extreme, but i loved it the second i saw it
