I'm having one hell of a time deciding between the two, i like the way each looks and sounds...

 

Same here... i have no idea which one to get.

 

hks wil be louder and angled

 

i'd rather get the Tanabe because its much more quieter. plus the HKS is way to freakin loud when just driving around normaly. if your guna fix your car up and be serious about it then go for the HKS.

 

HKS is not loud at all.. plus the angle works perfectly in the bumper, great look! And you actually notice power gains with it. Besides it sounds AWESOME like I said not loud at all.[/img]

 

What are the performance differences? I dont know the horsepower gains on the tanabe.

 

i have the concept g, and it aint that quiet...pair it up with a cai, and you'll have some wicked sound....the concept g is also angled, and if i remember, both are axle-backs, so the actual "gain" is hardly noticeable....you will feel a noticeable throttle response which you will enjoy....i would just get whatever you like the look of, cause this mod is definetly not for performance

 

oh yeah, also the concept g is cheaper too...haha....buy it from showstoppersusa.com and you get free shipping on everything there....i think it was like $319.00.....

 

The Concept G is angled too? I like that look, its just it doesnt look angled in the pics...

 

yeah, its angled....well at least mine is, haha....but all the concept g's should be angled

 

Anyone have, know where I can get a sound clip of the Tanabe?

sounds soooo much better in person...pair it with a cai, and you'll have that deep throaty sound you wanted

 

Yeah, I've been on that page before. I was hoping to hear it on a tC.

 

youtube? haha

 

Good idea...

What about some sound clips of the tanabe with a CAI on the car? Maybe some dyno's?

 

how angled is it?...can you take a picture of it and do you think it will fit without problems being to close using the OEM lip kit from the dealership?

 

If anyone could get some pics of both so we can compare them that would be awesome.

 

How is the HKS when your cruising on the highway? Is it annoying?

 

I have the tanabe and I love it. It is kinda annoying on the highway though. I just keep the radio turned up though
