What about an apexi, fins are certainly robust, piping is all metal. Size is slightly smaller than HKS but core is VERY free flowing.

I'd go with the Apexi, core is meant to be one of the best, and it comes with hard pipes.

Had the HKS the pipes are good, but the fins are far too soft for constant road use, you have to mesh the i/c otherwise the fins bend, then of course you've restricted the airflow slightly by putting mesh on it.

APS is good, but the pipes are sh1te, seen too many cars with holes in the silicone pipework for my liking.
