Greddy TI-C or HKS carbon TI exhaust

So i need some advise
Should I keep my greddy TI-C on my car thats been installed for about 20k miles proximately
or
should i prep and instal the HKS that came out of a none turbo car (2001 BMW z3) for about 20k miles also. To instal I would need to cut the muffler and weld to the pipe of the Greddy system. Pictures speak for themselves
or
should i just keep my set-up and sell the HKS?

Here are some pictures of the HKS



^got bottomed out once

^This is where i would need to cut and weld.

^Official JDM YO! lol

so confusing. I think i have an OK set up with the DC sport downpipe and the greddy Ti-C. but i dont know much about exhaust systems this is why im asking for advice. :-/ I think if its a 3" pipe its ok with me dont matter the name brand or does it matter? pipe is a pipe

I don't get what you're asking..... You've got an HKS Carbon TI from a 2001 BMW Z3 that you want to put on your EVO?

I think he wants to swap muffler sections. Personally, I don't think it is worth the hassle. Sell the HKS system from the BMW and use the money towards mods for your Evo.

Yea but from the looks of it the HKS was modded to fit the z3. So who knows who had it previouse to that. Owner states he got it brand new and modded to fit the z3. As u can see from the rear or the exhaust.

Yup me and you think the same. (2) reasons why I was considering it. The muffler is more low profile since its black and the Tip it's more solid than the greddy TI-C (sut comes out the inner portion of the tip and stains the muffler.

Please don't frankenstein parts on your Evo. It's not a Civic. Buy parts that are made for your car.

With that said, HKS parts are garbage. I had the TI-C and loved it. Sell the HKS.
