Lightbulb Which Exhaust System is the best from everyone's experience?

Hi, I'm trying to buy an exhaust system for G35 Coup 2005. i was looking at all kinds of them and i have decided HKS Hi-power for my G35 coupe. But, I think it was too loud. Is there anyone thats using HKS Hi-power has experienced that its very loud when u drive over 70mph on the freeway? or How is it sounds?
I tried some sound clips from internet. Stillen sounds nivery nice, once you take off the gas. So, I hope anyone can give me some kind of suggestion about which one is good and thats not too loud while driving. :P some experieces and where does the installation~! THX ( I heard Streetimage is the best so far),

THe HKS isn't loud on the highway.Roadnoise is louder than the HKS. I think I'm going Apexi or something to replace it though, it sucks for single turbo kits

About Stillen

I called Streetimaging today. They said Stillen 1250+100 labor. HKS Hi-power is 1650+100 labor. and he siad Stillen is not very good. the steel will get rusted down there.... Is it really? and YES! I love that sound when you let it loose. it sounds like those aircraft engine sound!
Is the Stillen installation a good price? or anyone else has a better place or price for Stillen around South California. (no san diego plz. too far) :P

as ive said before, B&B exhaust is the best. do a search. had a guy pull up to me couple days ago who had the stillen and liked mine better. Add the the injen cold induction aqnd it will never sound better. yes its a bit on the loud side. but if theres anyone out there who hates RICE more than me. let me know. its loud but just right. Ive had mustangs in the past and although it doesnt dound like a V8, it does sound like a tough V6 and low on the down shift as well as on the highway. its the perfect exhaust and very well built. RX

why dont you have Stillen install it? $100 sounds expensive for an exhaust install, it doesnt take more than an hour to install an exhaust so $100 is more than $100/hour... i believe Stillen is $70/hr if im not mistaken

I've tested and used about 5 of them - Borla was the best all around and on e still on my car - for sound, virtually Zero drone and performance. At about $700 and $100 install - plus better tips if you don't like the Borla...your done...

I have the Borla too... love it so far. Little deeper and louder than stock when cruising, gets a little louder above 4500 - not too loud though.
