Default Tanabe vs GReddy vs HKS

I have heard the Tanabe and it is too quiet. From what I have read about the HKS, it may be loud (drone). I have seen the GReddy system and it looks like pretty good quality. There doesn’t seem to be any talk about it. Does anyone have the exhaust and their comments? Any feedback would be appreciated.

IMHO I think the Greddy is right in between the 2, its not loud when cruising only WOT, and from what Ive heard it sounds like the G. Im going with the HKS cause I actually like the droning

i have the greddy, and it sounds really nice, not to loud, or drone, and yesh it does sound like a G35, but the tips are pretty big, so it take some time to get use to it

Well, I have the Greddy Sp2, it sound nice, it is droning @ 2-3 k rpm, if you're not turning your music loud you can here it. Other than that, when you hit it pass 4 k rpm. It sound mean...

I have the Greddy as well. Most of the sound comes in on the low end, with the intake becoming louder towards the upper rpm range. Perfect for the street and no droning on the freeway. Easily able to carry on a conversation with passengers on the freeway. Just my opinion though. Tips are huge, but got used to it.

Thanks for the feedback. I like the GReddy as of now, I just would like to see if MagnaFlow offers a system.

I listened to the videos on the other thread, but neither of them were helpfull. Who sits and revs the engine in nuetral? How often do you drive with the windows down? I don't do either, so I did videos of my HKS driving with the windows up at various speeds and throttle levels / RPMs, and recorded the sound from outside the car while I drove away.

The Lexus HKS exhaust does not drone, it is very quiet at cruise so you can still listen to your ML. You really only hear it under acceleration or WOT.
