It all comes down to looks. Both of them are made by HKS (correct me if I'm wrong about the F-sport) I believe the F-sport is a little quieter than the HKS. Google "Is250 F-sport exhaust" and "Is250 HKS high power exhaust" and you decide!

HKS for fat canisters and F-Sport for a more OEM look.

i'm probably going to get the HKS, and if it's not loud enough, i'll have the resonator removed

^ I thought the same too with the canisters and huge plain tips. Is the HKS louder than the F-Sport anyone? I'm wanting an exhaust in the future to pair along with the Invidia Midpipe and want the most sound possible.

HKS is my choice, but it can't go on a stock car. You need a kit, drop, and wheels to pull off the look.

^Agreed. If you have a kit it looks a lot better. But with the factory rear bumper the look is just too aggressive.

Sorry if this is a pic of anyones car: just my personal opinion.

And with a kit it looks a bit better.

hks is great and also the F sport
but once you put a mid pipe on either of the exhaust they are bloody loud
i prefer the greddy over the 2 very nice and subtle
gorgeous sound

^Greddy SP2 or the Greddy SE? I just found a setup with the SP2 mufflers.
Here is a link: http://www.speed-element.com/servlet...-system/Detail

I wonder if it is any good. Tips look pretty nice.
