Down pipe and japanese cars

hi guys ive asked this same question before but didnt really get the answer i wanted,,,,i live in the UK so have a japanese car (right hand drive) ,, im wanting to buy a downpipe. Now i dont know which to buy,,,i know the HKS one is a good fit but is twice the price as the others and to be honest it doesnt look at nice as the others. The problem with most of the pipes is they dont make space for the steering column (i.e they not made for right hand drive cars ).. theres so many to buy on ebay from so many different companys does anybody know of one that will fit my right hand drive model. thanks

Go Stainless steel and a bit bigger...

I think the pound / Aus dollar rate is pretty good at the moment..

There are also a TON of downpipes available in Japan for RHD cars, but it depends on how connected you are as to how easy they are to get. The HKS downpipe fits well, works well, and is easy to get.
