I came across a deal where a guy is selling a used Tanabe Hyper Catback Exhaust system for a GS and I was wondering if any of you have compared it to the HKS Dragger setup?

I watched the i-6 exhuast contest video on lexus gone wild but there's no way I can get a REALLY good assessment of the sound from a set of computer speakers and no one on there had the Tanabe setup

From the video, the HKS Dragger equipped cars sounded really nice. Low deep throaty exhaust notes on the lower end and the frequency went to a higher note at higher rpms (which is good because I don't wanna sound like a drone of bees while cruising on the highway).

Anyway- What are you impressions of the HKS Dragger exhaust and the Tanabe Hyper CatBack Exhaust?

Thanks!

i had the tanabe on my gs300.. it sounded great.. i now have tanabe on my gs430.. sounds even better

 

hks is louder.tanabe include all S/S y-pipe..

 

I agree. Moved here.

 

Until you chop the resonators on the Tanabe's. Sounds better now to my ear.

 

GOT MY HKS EXHAUST ON BACK ORDER FOR A MONTH FROM HKS,AND I CAN'T WAIT TO SEE WHAT THAT ***** SOUNDS,AND LOOK LIKE ON MY GS WHEN I GET IT.
THE REASON I GOT THE HKS IS I HAD ALWAYS USE THEM ON MY OTHER CARS,AND I AM VERY HAPPY WITH EVERYTHING ABOUT IT,AND FROM WHAT I HEARD IT SOUNDS AWESOME.

I love my Tanabe. How long did it take for the shop to chop your resonators and pipe them?

 

Several of us have had this done. It usually takes less than an hour. My exhaust is pretty thrashed after years of use and abuse, I'm thinking about moving to the Tom's or Carson Tuned.
