exhuast
For me HKS for the price and looks. I've seen Tanabe's they're ok to me. Fsport not worth the price especially since all three are axle backs. If I had the cash it would be a JoeZ full exhaust.

it's kind of hard to say based on your three options because it really depends on what you like. The HKS hi-power and the tanabe is pretty much on opposite ends of the scale, the hi power being the loudest out of all axle back exhausts for the 2IS and the tanabe being one of the quietest. The F-sport would be between those 2 in terms of volume, but its not a quiet exhaust either. I personally just bought the hi-power, haven't installed it yet. all 3 exhausts you listed here are pretty popular among CL members. So I don't really think you will get an obvious answer to your reply. Hope this helps!
HKS will be the loudest
F-Sport will be loud
Tanabe will be the quietest, but still has a nice deep tone
Performance wise, they all net you the same because they're all axle-back.
It would depend on what you prefer and how much you're willing to spend. Like Shadowman said, performance wise, they are all about the same. For me, the HKS was too loud for me as a DD. I didn't have the funds for the F-Sport so I settled on a used Tanabe. Haven't regretted my decision. Before you make your decision, you should check out and hear each exhaust in person. Good luck.
F-Sport matches the car probably the best. Should've come as OEM exhaust from factory haha.
I was stuck between Tanabe and F-Sport, and hearing it in person, the F-Sport blends well with most intakes because they're louder at different rpms. With the Tanabe, there was a quiet point where the exhaust noise died down and the intake picked up. The gap between their loudest points is too large IMO.
