Greddy is a little louder from what I have heard but not as loud as HKS. They both fit perfectly because they are both from a reputable manufacturer although I heard that the tanabe has one exhaust hang a little lower than the other. I have a greddySE and i love it! I am sure I would've loved the tanabe as well though. In the end, the only deciding factor I think is the looks because that is the only aspect that is significantly different! GL

Among the 2 options, I would go with Tanabe over Greddy.

I am looking into exhaust right now too and i am actually leaning towards Greddy. I just sat in a 350 with Tanabe last weekend, the sound was very nice with the compliment of the f sport intake, but I would like a more deeper tone and slightly louder sound. The HKS hi power seems a little too loud based on what people have said on this forum... so I decided to go with the middle one in terms of loudness.. which is Greddy..

The left exhaust that hangs a little lower than the right is barely noticeable unless you stare at it for awhile. There is a write up on here somewhere that can fix it as well. The greddy SE does look nice with its burnt tips

I like the tanabe but think it would be too quite for my taste

Tanabe with the Megan mid-pipe and it's not too quiet anymore.

I also believe the Tanabe is the lightest of all the aftermarket exhausts available for the ISx50.

How about invida for is 350?
Seen video on utube, any thoughts or comparisons to the others mentioned? Ranking of loudness compared to others?
