Default HKS or Greddy Exhaust

Should i keep my HKS True Dual Exhaust (used) i just bought for $700 or get a new Greddy Turbo Ti-C true dual Exhaust for $800?
My car is a 2003 DE 350z.
In the far future i plan to go F/I with a TT build.

Would the HKS i have now handle my HP goal of 500whp?

Best bet is to keep the HKS and save up until you have money to buy the full FI kit. Because from my personal experience buying things here and there rarely get you far. I mean hell I bought a bunch of stuff when i was ambitious about going F/I and they just end up crowding up my garage. Then I sold them all to my buddy for cheap and now he has a F/I G35 making me super jelly.

as far as the HKS exhaust with its 2.37" diameter piping. Will it be able to handle my F/I goal of 400-500whp?

The "Aero Model" is $699. It accommodates the Gracer rear Aero kit so it probably hangs much lower on a stock rear bumper. Killer price though.

When do you plan on going FI? 2012, get the Greddy. 2020, keep the HKS.

Just stop the foolishness. If you want forced induction than buy forced induction. An exhaust is a trivial accessory.

Ive already searched the forums and most people say for F/I you NEED a 2.5-3in exhaust piping.

Others say they have used HKS with a F/I setup up to 500 whp. just want some confirmation on this.

Get motordyne, when you do Forced Induction just replace the XYZ pipe with the 3" version, the rest of the exhaust is 3" back. (Motordyne TDX v2)
