Greddy can also fit brace type A i think since it doens't have resonators either!
i would choose only Apex'i or Greddy. Strickly depending on how loud you want it to be and if the greddy canister is too low
Greddy = loud
Apex'i = quiet
both amazing exhaust...
both japanese
both cat-back

I notice this often on other cars with aftermarket exhaust, including a couple of the pics above (sorry). I've put a pic of my Borla tips here showing how they are centered... It would drive me nuts if the tips weren't centered in the exhaust cutouts on the rear valance.
Those above aren't as bad as some I've seen because at least they are asymmetrical / match on each side. They'd be much worse if both sides were off to the left, for example.
Does this bother anyone else - maybe it's just me ?

greddy exhaust
i have had my lawyer in my car with my greddy exhaust and i had no worried about the volume of the noise it produces...i love the look, and i think i will love it much better with a body kit to hide those mufflers a tad bit more. But it sounds good, and seems to produce a little more power. Exceptional quality of the piping and mufflers also. I personally don't think of it as loud. I would not want to have an exhaust that was any more quiet than this one imo. But once you own something your more likely to enjoy it more.

Borla does look very good especially with its oval size.
L-Sportsline is definitely quiter than L-Tuned. After I set in Kyle3481's GS, I start to dislike my L-Tuned noise.
My wife HATES my L-TUNED exhaust.

my 2 cents
I had the Blitz Nur-spec Exhaust & loved it - 1st GS400
2nd time around I am gonna try the Greddy PE. - GS430
Steve at Carson said that I may have to wait a long time for these to come in. Hey does anyone have any info. on the
JIC bullet magic. SS Cat-back? Is Fujitsubo any good? Are these titatinum Cat-back?
Thanks
Paul
I would like the Big Tip look. ex. Blitz Nur-spec or Greedy PE look.
Thanks

JL4785,
Is there any droning with your HKS Hi-P? Have you ever compared HKS with other exhaust systems? Also is the HKS Hi-P muffler-only? As some friend of mine told me it was cat-back. Thanks for your time.

The one thing about the Hi-Pers is that they are rear section only. Not cat-back like the Blitz and the GReddy. I didnt mind that since it would keep my stock resonators. In all, im not too worried over a small difference in HP since I will not be building a HP beast pushing a ton of HP to the wheels. It is kinda pricey for a rear section only, but it is well worth it for me...

I haven't been able to "compare" straight up with other exhausts, but I do have friends that own the Blitz Nur-Spec as well as the GReddy PE. In my opinion the HKS did sound a bit more aggressive...

Thanks for the quick review. How was the installation? Does the muffler align perfectly with the cutout of the bumper or does it hang too low? I have around a 2.7 inch drop and I don't want it to scrape the driveway. There was one member on here who got the Hipers + the HKS silencer and he said it was AS quiet as l-tuned, rmm etc.. Please do post some pics if you getthe chance .
