Sedan HKS Exhaust & Gruppe-S YPipe OR Fujitsubo Exhaust?

I'm considering exhaust options for my 05 Sedan. Originally, I was going to go with the Fujitsubo exhaust without y-pipe (I dont think its worth spending $1000 on exhaust). But I just learned that HKS sells a "sport exhaust" for the G35 sedan. It doesnt show up on their website and I dont believe its in any of their catalogs or price lists. But, I've seen pictures and personally I think the HKS tip looks better (rolled) and the Fujitsubo muffler can looks better, if that matters. I havent heard the HKS, but I've been told its pretty quiet. From what I've read here, the Fujitsubo exhaust is also fairly quiet and doesnt drone either. But, it also seems the Fujitsubo exhaust produces decent power gains. Whereas the HKS is basically a complete unknown. Although I DO think HKS is fairly trustworthy when it comes to performance.

So my dilemma is, should I get the Fuji exhaust OR, for the same money, just get the Gruppe S Y-Pipe AND the HKS exhaust and be done with it? Both exhausts are stainless steel, cat back, with a single tip.

Suggestions or comments? Which would you choose and why?

I have the same exact question, someone please help out here - - you'll be getting a 2 for 1. I read that the fuji has a deeper sound to it, which I like, and we do know more about it. What's the deal with HKS though, there is a group purchase setting up for it i saw.

I posted this same question in the Sedan forum and got some more responses that you might find interesting..

https://g35driver.com/forums/g35-sedan-v35-2003-06/46877-help-me-decide-sedan-exhaust.html

FWIW, I'm going with the HKS and y-pipe.. partly because I like the HKS dual tips (I could live with the Fuji single, but just prefer dual) and partly because if I got the Fuji, I would have a hard time justifying the y-pipe later since that would make the complete Fuji system pretty pricey and I got other stuff to spend the money on (sus and wheels!)..
