I would definitely pick HKS over those three.

I'm getting my HKS next week.

Whats with all the hate for replicas? I understand most aren't exactly up to par as far as quality, but they do offer a great deal for what they are worth. The xo2 exhaust is less than half of a brand new HKS and delivers the same amount of horsepower if my knowledge serves me correctly. As far as the sound goes, opinions are all subjective. I personally think the HKS sounds rice, but my opinion is just as valid as yours. I'm not trying to pick fights here, but honestly to say replicas "the failed" is a bit pompous IMHO.

Back on topic, all these exhaust are great for power. The Pros for the Borla and Stillen would be that they look somewhat stock, thus less harassment from the police as long as you aren't driving like an as$. The HKS looks a bit more racey and agressive, but if thats what you are looking for, than no better exhaust will do that for you. Cons for the Stillen would be its weight. It weighs in at almost 75 pounds, about 20 to 25 more than stock. Also, if you are considering the HKS exhaust, consider the XO2 exhaust that I talked about before. Alot of fanboys will tell you their authentic is superior in terms of quality etc etc, but when it comes down to it, pipes are pipes. I've heard great things from Xo2 owners about quality and craftsmanship.

Hope this helps.

Borla was a waste of my time and money. HKS/Xo2 all the way.

Yeah, but that's one person. I'm sure the HKS units aren't free of bad reviews. Just to play devil's advocate, my friend has an X02 and he's quite happy with it.
