Im running the stillen with top speed race pipes and i love the way it sound. Not to much rasp only a little past 3k. But if you floor it you cant even hear the rasp. Also im not talking **** on the HKS i love the way it looks but it looks a little to ricey to me. Kinda like 2 big coffey cans that you use to see on a hondas back in the day - the cool blue burn. hehe once again no reason to flame im not talking **** bout it just my .02 .

Has there been a side by side dyno comparo of the two? Old school dynos showed Stillen was the best power maker.

true the HKS is really nice i just prefer the stock look of the exhaust. I got the single wall tip so the tips are a little bigger. But still look some what stock. little fyi got pulled over once for loud exhaust cop asked me if its a stock exhaust. I said yes he called another officer over that supposedly his brother has a G35 cop said yup it looks stock and got out of a ticket .

two very different exhausts...

the difference in gains are going to be marginal, imo.

get stillen, if you think hks doesnt sound good.

Take a look into the Fast Intentions system. At the price range you are considering, you'll have the top 3 dual systems to choose from. Gains are all very similar, but the sound is completely different in all of them.
