They are basically the same. Same size, basically identical, and both are made by HKS.
The difference is in the loudness. The F-Sport is louder. I am pretty sure that the tanabe medallion is similar in loudness to the lexus HKS.

I went with lexus HKS...

There is a thread that goes into this in detail... ill look for it and post it here when i find it...

I wouldn't say it is similar, the Lexus HKS is definitely louder than Tanabe. Anyways according to loudness it is F-Sport > Lexus HKS > Tanabe.

By similar i meant Between exhausts like Hi-power, F-sport, lexus HKS... you can compare it more towards the lexus HKS in terms of sound, where as the F-Sport is more towards the hi-power.

Some vids Lexus HKS. Not mine. It definitely doesn't sound like Tanabe, it sounds a little bit similar to G35.

^^^ its really a personal preference as to which one sounds better.... Same with sound.. some people are deaf and think the Hi-Power is not loud! haha ... but for me... F-Sport sounds better than HKS hi -power...

And I think HI - power is louder... can anyone confirm this? Never heard a Hi-Power "live" before.. only on youtube

The Hi-Power is louder, looks cooler, and is WAY cheaper than the f-sport.

Get the Hi-Power.

Borla and Megan are good choices too. They make nice systems.
