Just so you know.........just because the Greddy is not the loudest does not make it quiet........it is loud,it is droning,but it also comes with a silencer,HKS you have to spend $40 more for a silencer if it is too loud.

hks is much louder..it actually the packing material the companies use inside the muffler itself that determines the sound..if its really good material then ill be quiet if its average then ill be loud but all muffler will eventually get loud over time

I used to have the trd exhaust and that was too quiet and I have a friend who has the megan and another one who has agency. So i decided to go with hks, I also have a custom mid pipe with glass pack so mine is almost too loud now but overall I think HKS sounds the best in my opinion. Its got a deep and strong exhaust note, when I hit 2k rpms I can feel my seats shaking haha. If you a want a very deep throaty sound go with the hi-power

yea HKS has a nice sound to it but if you have get header any exhasut you have wil have some kind of rasp which will be annoying..

i first had the axle back on sounded nice and deep then decided to do a midpipe then my car started to fart which i couldnt do anything about it unless i went with another exhasut..but i prefer angled ver makes the car look meaner

but it all depends on what you want..and straight exhasut or angled exhaust..just goota do your research....you can mix and match parts

with silencer in the GReddy it is actually silent......almost no sound at all out of it,my intake is louder.

Gettign HKS here in a week,it should be loud,but I have resonators so I should be ok with it rasp wise.

It will be 3rd exhaust in 6 weeks,liked them all just changing it up a bit.
