why would the product be of less quality on a piston engine versus a rotary?
i will answer your question even though i think this thread was a waste of time since you can see HKS in just about everybody's signatures on this forum.
HKS is a well known manuffacturer and builds quality products for not only piston engines but for rotary powered one's as well.

HKS is good quality but overpriced. If you find a good deal take it otherwise go with a different brand for the most part. You definately pay for the HKS name.

Their stuff is expensive, but I've never had ANY problems with fitment or quality. I've had my Hiper exhaust on for four years now, in all kinds of weather, and its held up incredibly well. I highly reccomend them, especially if you can pick up some slightly used stuff for cheap.

You gotta be kidding me. HKS is a very reknown and prestigious company. There is a reason for numerous 9 second Skylines, Supras, and RX'7s in japan that sport nothing but HKS. Look up the history ; ) Have to pay for quality.

APC does field one. Pretty sure it's a civic.
Anyway, in response to the question, HKS makes great stuff. Some people prefer to buy expensive things. And really, so long as you are getting a quality part, who cares if it costs more. I don't feel bad about spending a little extra money on a quality part. Do you?

Hks stuff is very expensive, but if you use their system and all their parts, everything works very well together. Their quality is very high as is typical of alot of Japanese stuff,but only in the end as good as the person using it....
I got to sample some of their products that are kinda gimmicky looking, but that **** works, like the detonation amplifier for tuning, listening to a motor with headphones is hard to tune from, but once you know what you are listening for, the usefullness of tools like that is great..Their stuff is expensive here, but its also the most expensive in Japan as well.. I cant say enough about their larger frame turbos, the exhaut sides are very well balanced to the compressor side, in the tug of war for power and spool..
The transmission I have from them is very good as well.. Top knotch stuff.. and worth the money...Max
