Thanks for the input. I have watched countless vids on Youtube, but we all know that things don't always sound the same on the computer as they do in person. I think I am going to go ahead with the HKS. I have no immediate plans of running a mid-pipe, so it shouldn't be too loud. I love the drone and the rasp that I am hearing in the HKS vids! Need my valve recall gift card to hurry up and get here!!!
Great choice, glad u plan on joining, but note, u get the "raspy" sound if u take the resonator out and weld a straight pipe, see the change in the two videos I posted? Its less raspy and less louder with the resonator still on but still sounded good

I think I will like it without the mid pipes or resonator delete. I Just don't want to wake my neighbors up when I crank it at 6am........ Ha!
Has anyone installed the HKS Hi Power and believe it to be too loud? I am looking hard at this for my '06 IS350, but do not want to install it and find that it is irritating when driving. I have read that the Medalion exhaust is the quietest, then the F Sport, and then the HKS. Really stoked over the HKS, but would hate to put it in and then find that it is annoying loud at highway speeds. No issues with hearing radio or talking on cell phone?
It's perfect by itself. Add a mid pipe and kiss your hearing goodbye
Can the drone be any louder than a Dodge turbo diesel truck with an upgraded turbo and a full 5 inch turbo back exhaust that dumps under the bed?? Lol.

Umm I hope that was a sarcasm. I'm not going to answer that question lol. To put it in perspective, I am convinced that I wake up my neighbors every morning when I turn on my car. During a cold start, you cannot hear someone having a conversation with you (both outside of the car speaking normally)

I can't say. I added my Invidia midpipe before the HKS so it was very loud for me from day one
