anyone gone from Greddy Ti to HKS?

Im thinking of swapping my exhaust for the HKS hipower one. With the Greddy I can hear the loud exhaust and droning sound under the entire car. With the HKS will three be a lot of cabin noise like the Greddy Ti?

haha yeah i saw that but i wasnt sure....btw how do you like the greddy ti? does it come out straight at the rear of the car or is the exhaust angled?

basically im looking for an exhaust that is not super loud but mild to loud with a good flow, and i want the tailpipe to be as straight as possible but a slight angle is ok

i switched from greddy ti to hks, i also didnt like the greddy ti droning noise. The hks is much better i guranteed you will like it, its a lot quieter. Also what highflow cat or downpipe do you have? I have the helix and i had problems getting it to fit on my hks exhaust, but it fit like a charm on my greddy ti.

I always thought HKS are better...noise-wise and performance wise....

how much does the hks weight
i know the greddy ti is 11lbs and stock is 38lbs

the greddy ti is a full 3" catback i dont know what the hks is size wise but i dont see how a catback exhaust can have a straighter exhaust path with it matching up with the stock hangers and yes it points out completely straight its a hair short of the bumper

just my couple of pennys

my hks definitely sounds better than my old greddy. i didn't like the noise but thought it wouldn't bother me at the time so i had bought the greddy. i was pulled over twice with my greddy (with helix dp and perrin cat delete) and have yet to be pulled with my hks (with hks dp and helix cat delete). also the hks has a resonator and the greddy does not. power wise, i'd assume the greddy puts out a hair more since the piping is wider and the taper at the cat-end is 3" whereas the hks tapers to what, 2.75"? i cant' remember for certain. in the end i'd definitely get an hks again but not the greddy
