Exclamation HKS Hi Power or Nintendo Wii

I know the title is a little odd, but long story short I won a Wii at my work party last night and seeing as its not really my kind of thing (more of a 360 man myself),
I'm stuck considering the pro's and cons of selling it for an HKS Hi-Power.

Some feedback to help me decide is greatly needed.

Um i have a 360 and PS3 so i would go with the HKS exaust which i just installed mine on Saturday great exaust for a DD. Its deep and nice i dont go over 3000 RPMs and its not ricey or loud at all just a nice deep tone that makes it great for a DD. So really for me it would be a no brainer i would have no use of a Wii much rather have this exaust. If u have any questions on the exaust just ask oh and it takes 5 minutes to install easyest exaust i have ever had

Get the exhaust if you want it. I got me a Wii and all the best games. After awhile I just grew out of it and traded it for a PS3 cuz I needed a BluRay Player.

LOL , so true, I had a 360 that had the red ring of death and it sucks... So know I have Wii and ps3 and of course my pc . But as far as selling the wii for HKS Hi-Power, I'd say save up and keep both

I never got the red ring of death but i have the 360 elite with the 120GB hard drive. But i love my hks exaust so much more than thes game system. I don't have much time for the games but i'm in the car alot going to work and school. Oh and i bought a 40" LCD flat screen about a month ago with my PS3 for the blue ray player. the wierd thing is i don't know why do to i am always so busy. So now i think dam that was 1100 for the tv and 400 for the ps3 so $1500 i could have gotten coils for my car or half way to a trubo kit. I'm also geting rid of my HD cable this week $75 a month for cable and i don't watch tv. So thats 75 more a month i can save toward coils/ turbo kit or for savings just think about it which will u enjoy longer

The Wii will give you more and there is less work in keeping the Wii.
I have one too and yes there is a LOT of lame titles but the few major titles that make up for it. I really like to play the classic games through the virtual console but that is just me. I play most of my games on the PS3 and PC whenever I have time.

The exhaust really isnt going to do much unless you are FI. If anything, you will loose torque assuming it is just the exhaust you are installing.

I really dig my Wii but I have kids and they love it too.

If I were young and single, I'd mod my car. Chances are you'll wind up blowing $$ on add-ons for the Wii anyway.

I don't get it. how will an exhaust make me lose torque? The purpose of an exhaust is to free up back pressure in the engine isn't it? (and its not like the hi-power is a free flowing cat back). For now I was thinking about just getting the HKS with a drop in filter.
The Wii just doesn't seem to be doing anything for me.

You won't lose any torque with just an axelback exhaust, don't sweat it. If you were doing a full 3" exhaust, yea you'd sacrifice low end torque for high end hp, but a muffler won't change anything but the sound.

i have a Wii and i enjoy it very much. i play with my Wii all the time. i play with it with my friends, sometimes they don't want to play with it and just want to watch. my girlfriend likes playing with it a lot, she even plays with it when i'm asleep. sometimes, when i'm all alone and no one is home, i play with my Wii for hours until my arms are tired and sore.

in all seriousness, i spend more time driving my Fit than i do playing with my Wii. i would do the HKS hi-power.

ohh, i smash on my Wii all the time! i smash alone, smash online, and smash with my friends in the room too! sometimes it gets so intense that my hands start to hurt. when that happens i have a snack and let my Wii cool down for a bit. then, when i'm ready, i play with my Wii all over again!

hahah, Wii cliche innuendoes are limitless


(back on topic)
a lot of people hate on the Wii. hardcore gamers buy a Wii for their family or to keep their girlfriends/wives busy, not for themselves. that being said, i play with my PS3, PC, and Wii an equal amount. just depends on whether i want to play a solid RPG, shoot someone's brains out, or make virtual sushi

yeah the wii's more of a group playing console. it gets old unless you have people to play with. i bought the wii basically only for brawl and that never gets old as long as i take to someones house or have friends over

totally agreed! i may have less games to play on wii, but thats why i'll get a ps3.

but try playing any future zelda on any other console. that alone is worth having a wii. (or metroid or mario or no more heroes.)

get the wii dude. the hks exhaust is just loud imo.


edit: crap i just realized that you said you WON it. well in that case, do what you gotta do. but if you do rid yourself of it, your missing out.
