Jic and HKS

Just a question: Jic exhaust and Hks

I would like to know which one is louder, more expensive, looks better, and more people prefer.

Again this is between the hks carbon ti and the jic titanium.

I love the slanted exit of the muffler.

Thanks for the help!

I have both, the HKS sound really nice and deep. The Magnaflow (JIC) TI I have not installed yet.

If you have neighbors and want a quieter idle, go with the HKS.

Noise not a factor for you? Go with a titanium system.

i have had a jdm evo VII jic full ti exhaust on my car for two years. the thing is awesome, light (9lbs w/muffler) and it has no intermediate resonator. straight 3"pipe to muff and out. it looks like it did the day i put it on. very good quality. but, alas, it is loud, especially with a cat delete!

I have the carbon Ti and I love it, but I have not heard anybody with the JIC so I can't give you an opinion on it. But I really do love the HKS, you can't go wrong with it in my opinion.

Titanium has a Ping to it in sound, and steel has more of a ding.... thats why the exhaust sound so much different... also it doesnt have a resonator

I don't like my HKS, wish I would have gotten the Greddy ti or the JIC.

HKS will be the quitest of all ti units. If I do an exhaust on my IX it will be Greddy Ti.

i really like the way the jic titanium is sounding because i like the fact of no pointless resonators and want to know one more thing, is it a deep throaty tone along with being loud if so this will be the exhaust for me thank you very much.

my jic full ti has a very nice deep throaty sound... reminds me of my friends scarab (boat) with 2 455 engines at idle
