Well, luxurious sounding exhausts would be ones that don't sound "ricey."

From the few video clips on HKS exhausts, I couldn't really tell which one sounds more "ricey."

I have the Hi-Power HKS exhaust, and there aint no question that it is NOT "luxurious" by any definition. I haven't seen or heard the OEM HKS version, but I can't imagine it being any less "luxurious".

It is "OEM", just not "standard".

Very interested in this as well, anyone who has seen/heard both please share you opinion/experience. Really like how the OEM looks.

That Sewell deal, still a little expensive but tempting. If I could just see this exhaust in person...

I have the HKS lexus exhaust and i love it... im always getting compliment on it how great it sounds. The sound is deep and full, at 2500-3000 rpms its silent in the cabin. Plus it looks so clean.......
