Default Help on Exhaust please!?

OK i had my mind set on the HKS which i have found at a good price, however i was also offered great pricing on a few other exhaust that are kind of hard to overlook, tell me what you guys think..

I can get all 3 of these at basically the same great price: Borla TD, TurboXS, or the Invidia Ti G200, these 3 all about $500-$600 less than the HKS, what do you guys think? Stick with HKS or save some money and go with one of these 3? Let me know what you would do, thanks!

I have the Borla and love the sound. So I voted for it. It keeps that exotic type exhaust note. Just an opinion.

Stillen claims their exhaust makes the most power for the Z out of all the aftermarket exhausts. As to whether or not it's true, who knows?

What design do you prefer: one or two mufflers? That will limit the list of potential choices.

well i prefer the 2 mufflers by far and the Ti tips, so HKS is obviously perfect for me, but its hard to pass up a savings of $600 bucks..

Save the $600 and go with the Borla TD, but my opinion is a bit biased...

borla i have heard didnt have that great of flow but who really knows. I have heard that exhaust and it didnt sound the greatest but i guess again thats personal pref. If it was my money i would go with the g200 and save the rest.

Then the choice has been made: dual exhaust with two mufflers.

I was initially gonna go with that one but then figured why not spend the extra 300 on the HKS, plus the tips are a little fatter on the HKS i like that.. Only reason I am considering the others above is to save 600.. lol i am a very confused person, but im pretty sure I am gonna just go for the HKS..

lol you sure are confused.

Why not spend extra 300 on HKS? Simple... because you will save $300!

Unless you are dying for the name brand or the sound, the performance should be comparable (same size pipes, both dual systems...)

I have Borla TD and love it. Sound is deeper than stock but not droning or boomy, at lower RPMs sounds almost Porsche-like (almost). I noticed a significant reduction in back pressure (most likely from being a dual design). Maintains stock outlets for a clean appearance. No complaints after 7500 mi. Matched with the JWT intake it sounds EVIL at WOT. Save the extra $ you'd spend on the HKS and put it toward more mods.

I say go with the JIC spartan type 2. Best looking exhaust by far, and good gains for a y-pipe back. I'm buying mine tomorrow.

Get the HKS, you'll love it. I have mine and never look back. So far, i think it's the best looking one with dual canister design and you really can see it from behind. From the performance point of view, it put 11-14 hp to the wheel according to HKS website.
