i went w/ the tanabe because its available and secondly because it isn't as loud as others.

Depends on what you want...Im pretty sure the hks unit will be a full cat-back system with measureable performace gains (also louder maybe??). The tanabe is just an axleback system, giving it more of a sporty sound, with no real performance gains. As for borla, I dont know...I'd stick to japanese parts on a japanese car.
