I have a Concept G and love it. Have you listened to clips of exhausts on youtube? Search for

tc [brand exhaust]

If you have an intake and / or headers or some other custom setup, add those to the search terms also.

so far i LOVE my injen ses have had it for a week so far and sounds great even when the engine warms up.

Edit: slanted exhausts look like crap imo, go injen or the G.

The biggest difference between the Injen SES/Concept G and the HKS hi-power are the fact that at high RPM especially with a header (from my experience) the HKS gets real high pitched and "rice" sounding.

The Injen (my exhaust) sounds the best at about 3k but even at 6 it doesn't get real ricey sounding even with my header.

Thats just my experience. I love the way the hipower looks but it just doesn't sound good to me.

everyone is going to say their exhaust is the best sounding because they are used to their sound. Go on you tube and do your research. I did mine and i also heard all of them on peoples scion tc's in car shows. The best sounding exhaust is the Skunk2 exhaust. its nice and deep and quiet on the highway plus sounds the best when you turn the car on. YouTube it.

i second the skunk2...honestly sounds the greatest.....the price is an epic failure though .... by the way best way to check it is with youtube ... plus it wouldnt hurt to have a decent surround on your comp to actually feel the bass like rumble from the exhaust

When playing the videos on Youtube.com, keep in mind that the set up they have may not be the set up you have. Thus meaning, the sound will or may, vary. There are many different options an individual can chose to go with. There are canisters and many other set ups you can go with. For example, I will be going with a cat-less turbo back Borla 2.5’….. I like Borla cause of its mild deep sound and also for the way it will look on the car. I prefer not to have a big can sticking out of the back of my car. Now at this point in time I have a can but I will be changing that. For me I just want something that isn’t loud but works the best with my set up and sounds good. If it does its job then that’s what I am looking for. Ricers are the ones who want to be loud as hell. Just cause the car is loud that doesn’t make it fast….lol…Just cause the Dog can bark doesn’t mean it has the ***** to bite!!!! When the dog gets the ball it doesn’t need to try and sound big and bad, it comes natural.
P.S.
Ricers repulse me due to their lack of knowledge and ability to properly tune tastefully…..It’s ok I was ignorant once also….lol…..Ricers read and you will learn something…….If you are a ricer and you are reading this your off to a good start by reading in a forum. Sorry for ranting and raving…lol

I've tried HKS HiPower, Greddy SP2, Tsudo N1, and A'pexi.
My vote goes to Greddy SP2.
