i'd rather get the Tanabe because its much more quieter. plus the HKS is way to freakin loud when just driving around normaly. if your guna fix your car up and be serious about it then go for the HKS.

HKS is not loud at all.. plus the angle works perfectly in the bumper, great look! And you actually notice power gains with it. Besides it sounds AWESOME like I said not loud at all.[/img]

i have the concept g, and it aint that quiet...pair it up with a cai, and you'll have some wicked sound....the concept g is also angled, and if i remember, both are axle-backs, so the actual "gain" is hardly noticeable....you will feel a noticeable throttle response which you will enjoy....i would just get whatever you like the look of, cause this mod is definetly not for performance
