Default Help on Choosing Exhaust
OK I have went to L-Tuned parts and cant tell whihc one is better. They have the TAnabe Exhaust System and the HKS catback System. I like the look of the HKS but dont know what is the performance difference. Also I have heard of the HKS High Power Exhaust, how does that compare to the other two???

If you want a quieter deep tone than get the tanabe, if you want a lot of noise and possible dronning than go with the HKS. Both will give you the same when it comes to performance.

I love my Lexus HKS setup. I think it looks great and it produces a great sound. Comparable to the G35 coupe. I don't have any droning issues. I recently went on a long road trip and while cruising along the highway I couldn't even tell I had an aftermarket exhaust (unless I was stepping on the gas).
