Which one should i go with? Guide me here guys..

Any big difference ?

 

The biggest difference is a price, the lexus version is alot more expensive.

 

I'm in the same boat as you. From what I have seen there isn't much of a difference in terms of performance however the regular HKS is a more circular design while the Lexus HKS is more oval. I personally like the looks of the Lexus HKS better.

 

go with none hks....SAVE YOUR MONEY....

 

the non-lexus HKS are on a HUGE sale right now... i just bought mine.

$435 shipped from MVP.

 

Oh ok .. ya i saw some pics of the lexus brand it looked better now keyword was "looks" but i dont know if there is any sound difference..

$439 is pretty cheap .. i agree Compared to lets say 1,229.00.

Thats a good $790.00. I could spend that on a video mod for my non ml unit.

Well i can still say im not decided. Im still very confused. But i have settled my decision on the HKS brand.

$1500 MSRP for the OEM one!

$1000 difference.....hell, I'd go non-lexus HKS!

 

go with the non oem, save your loot for other things to do with your car.

 

But the non oem is circular and looks so ugly. I rather have the oval on a lexus

 

I totally agree. I really dont like the circular style

 

thats why i got the tanabe.... cheap(er) AND oval canister

 

can't you get the non oem, hack off the tips and put on some Borla tips.

 

The tips on the non-Lexus HKS can't be replaced like they can on most other mufflers. The coffee can tips are huge all the way to the muffler body.

I have the non-HKS, and I'm happy with it, but I kind of wish I had gotten the Tanabe. I don't think I would ever consider the OEM HKS exhaust when the Tanabe is so similar and cheap.

 

I would way rather go with the NON LEXUS HKS (saving my loot for rims). I bought mine yesterday from the group buy, but personally went to Carson Toyota. The total came out to $469.71. Luis also reminded me that this HKS exhaust does not void warranty =)

 

The OEM is round too isn't it?
