HKS vs BONEZ

I was wondering, how come most people choose the BONEZ dp over the HKS dp, when the HKS label is much better and the dp costs less than the BONEZ dp? Is it because the HKS piping is 2.5 and BONEZ is 3"?

Also if I get the HKS now, would I need to get a different DP when I go single turbo soon enough?

hks DP is mild steel while the BONEZ is stainless. also the hks has a small dent in the DP that restricts air flow. the dent is there to compensate for right hand drive rx7's in japan. hope this helps.

Even though I am an HKS parts ***** I would say get the bonez. The reason is that the HKS DP is made for a RHD car and has to compensate for the steering with a weird hump/groove/dent thinggy. The US spec cars don't need that so actually have better flow with the US made DP.
