pros and cons

yo guy,
i'm stuck in a decision on what exhaust to get the Greddy SE or HKS Legamax. I would be a alot of help if you guys could help me with some pros and cons of each. I heard the you tube clips and they both sound great, i read in the search that the Greddy is louder, but is it like the exoticspeed and turbo xs loud that i think is way loud? If you could also give some others exhausts that are comparable to each that would help me out also. sorry for the small book I just wrote.

Hey man I was actually stuck between both of those exact exhaust kits too. I havent completely decided yet but what ive narrowed it down to is weight. I hear the hks is heavier and if they both give the same performance might as well go with the greddy but im still not certain on the weight of the greddy. As far as sound goes I'd say the greddy would be a better choice... I dont want to be stuck with close to stock sound and besides their description reads reasonable sound levels so how bad could it possibley be?

i wouldnt waste my money on something that gives 3.5 hp gain. get a race pipe instead, at least 8hp+ for less than half the price.

Look, just get a racing beat cat back as it is quieter than most, but still aggressive and if you get the dual resonated racing beat midpipe it will sound great with the best of both world performance, except you will fail emissions without a cat.
