HKS is definitely louder... not sure about the aesthetics... i prefer that subtle Tanabe or Lexus HKS look

high power is more louder...or just keep your Tanabe and add a Megan mid pipe...that will bump it up a notch

the hks hi-powers are louder and more aggressive looking than the tanabe touring medallions, but are slightly less expensive and imo not as popular.

if you were in socal and were interested, i'd pull the swap w/ you, straight up.

I've got HKS Hi-Power and I love it. If you get tired of the noise or the neighbors complain, get some silencers- that's what I did. It still sounds great with the silencers in, but I kinda missed the loudness, so for this week I'm rolling without them.

HKS Hi-power is louder than
Tanabe / JoeZ / F-sport / Lexus HKS
I've heard all those in person, and HKS Hi-Power is the loudest
too loud IMO, but people seem to love it
