greddy's exhaust is more louder than the legamax. Not sure how many DB's the greddy exhaust is but the hks is 94 DB (legal limit). So whats your doubt?

dont' go off of the HP figures you read online. No matter what exhaust you get, the gains will be minnimal.

Go with the exhaust that YOU think sounds the best.

haha i got 2 hp from mine...

the greddy stock is really really quiet... hks is even less?? honestly i wouldn't have gotten the greddy if i didn't have a midpipe... i needed a much quieter exhaust which is why i switched from b&b to greddy. to me greddy w/out midpipe sounded weak. if ur not planning to get a midpipe, i'd suggest b&b or borla, something that'll give your car an attitude rather than dropping $600+ for a sound barely noticeable since u wont be getting much power from any of them.

racing beats exhaust is very quiet, pretty much a notch above stock. Hks legamax is deifnetly louder than that. If you want more of a bite, check out my new exhaust:

I have the greddy sp2 and umnitza intake. Together I think they put out a great sound. Got my sp2 off ebay for $500 shipped.....take time to shop around. Everyone who knows me said they love the sound of my ride.

Somebody forgot to put the decimal point in the right place. It's 2.2 hp, not 22 hp..ha, ha. Whoever told you 22 hp (hell, even 9 hp) is delusional.
