Just wondering guys.. whats the difference between the HKS super drager exhaust and the hi-power one. I think both of them can fit our evos.

Hi-Power Exhaust systems incorporate a race inspired angled mounted stainless steel muffler and piping design for greater flow and higher-PRM power gains. Depending on the application, piping size ranges from 55 to 95mm and utilize tips 96 or 120 mm tips.
HKS Super Drager Exhaust systems incorporate a polished seamless-shell stainless-steel muffler assembly. All Drager systems utilize mandrel bent piping from 60 to 95mm in diameter and a 106 or 130mm Drager tip, depending on the application.
To me, Hi-Power mounts at an angle, and Drager mounts straight. And according to the description, Hi-Power got more top-end power. Too bad the Drager exhaust in the HKS web site does not provide dyno chart for comparison....
Just my .02
During the installation, I did some extra findout.
I weighted both exhaust system. The stock weight ~ 36lb and HKS catback weight ~ 31lb. BTW, I use some crappy weight to measure. I assume the no. is not as accurate, but close.

Weight stock exhaust - 37lbs
Weight HKS High Power Exhaust - 27lbs
However the 30th Anni version made with better quality steel thus it is likely to add some weight on top of the regular Hi-Power exhaust.

Got my HKS installed today with my B&B downpipe. The muffler shop I got it installed at installed the cat the wrong side up and had the exhaust touching the drivetrain and dp touching the frame, LOL. Luckily I caught the problem and we got it fixed before they closed. Too bad I dont have a garage or else I would have done this install myself. The exhaust setup sounds REAL nice but a little loud. I think adding the cat del pipe would make it too loud IMO, and thats not what I really want. Left the stock cat on for now. Anyways, the car is a lot faster and there is more power after 5500rpm. The car drives like a rocket and Im really satisfied with the performance. Next thing to do is profec b and super afc to fine tune this baby.
