Anyone with the hks hi-power true dual exhaust

Alright, I bought a used hks hipower exhaust and test pipes...I need all new gaskets and can't find them ANYWHERE. The problem is I don't have the old ones to refrence from and hksusa.com isn't helping at all. Does anyone know where I can get a complete gasket set for the exhaust? Thanks.

No, no one here has a HKS true dual. It's all a myth.




































think...















































keep thinking...























































OH!
There we go, a light bulb goes on...




































































Try an auto parts store near you like Autozone, I'm sure you'll find something or heck- an exhaust shop.

Seriously... All you need to do is take the exhaust to Napa/Advance or any other part store and start checking exhaust gaskets till you find the size you need.

Seriously....^....all right seriously the BEST gaskets are OE which you can buy from Infiniti or Nissan. The trash those big autoparts stores sell I wouldn't put on my lawnmower and will fail. Why do the job twice (install) if you buy quality gaskets you're only going to do it once?

I bought an injen exhaust a month ago off of craigslist and needed new gaskets too, so I just went to my local Napa auto store. They only had 3 in stock of the size I needed so I had to make a trip to another one, then home depot to buy nuts/bolts. They were about $3.50 each while I've heard that the dealer sells them for $6+ each. After a few hundred miles, I don't think I have any exhaust leaks or anything so I'm happy.

I just ordered the HKS hi-power and i will just be going to the Nissan Dealer close to me and getting the OE gaskets. I trust Nissan. When was the last time they had an issue with gaskets? So let me know if you can get yours from Nissan and if i get mine first ill be sure to let you know

Well the test pipes <-- which i dont agree with lol... High flow cats are better, but ANYWAY! that will debate for a lifetime. They should have the same gaskets as the cats so im sure they will have them. the actual connection size and bolts should be the same as the cats though.

You realize everything needs to match up perfectly so you won't have leaks and then the gaskets with the best quality (OE) will last longer without any issues. With that nice HKS exhaust you may not like the sound of the test pipes. You're better off with the OE cats until you can afford a set of BERK'S HFCs. They're worth at least 8 RWHP and the sound is awsome....

If no place has the gasket you need, go back to autozone and get some RTV for exhaust. If using at top of test pipes too, I'd get the copper stuff. GL
