What do you like better about the Blitz over the HKS to make you want to change?

if you were basing it for better power, what would be the best choice? I'd like something deeper, but I'm not into paying 500+ for loudness alone...

thanks

Default greddy vs. hks

how does the greddy compare up to the hks in terms of sound (and i guess hp gain)? im stuck between these two exhaust systems. i heard greddy is only good for if you have some type of FI under the hood (sound wise)

which one from all look the cleanest....almost factory...

I don't want something that looks like it belongs on my Supra TT.

which one would you guys recomend for me..

1) look good (not huge tips or too skinny of canisters)
2) quite during driving but nice V8 sound under acceleration..( My brother has a SL55 AMG and his car is quite under normal driving but when he punches it ..it sounds good!!!..and its factory)

Apexi' WS2 Exhaust sounds good for you... has a somewhat of a stock look and the shiny muffler looks really sexy!

RominL might give better input.... as he has the Apexi. from the clips of the LGW, sounds like the Apexi is

if you have a 400 or 430, it'll sound great even if you don't have FI, i have the Greddy PE and it sounds great! I heard the hp gain is around 6-8hp, not a lot but i got the exhaust cheap anyways.. and if you want full - cat then HKS doesn't make that.. HKS is rear sections only

I personally watched the exhaust videos and i have to say that i love the way l-sportline sounds. i would love to see pictures of it If anyone had some on there car ??

those go pretty expensive ? I am tapped out of (extra) spending money laying around

haha let me know gentleman.....

ps i have a gs400 99' if that matters ... any if i should buy the whole exhaust ? or just the mufflers ? and get how think if piping my friend is a welder .....so that might be to my advantage.. we'll see though

and i have no intake yet ... iknow i know soon soon ... yet i could just save up to build the rmm supercharger kit from RMMGs4 ?? <~~very knowledgeman man
