Default Injen Titanium Tip vs. HKS

Im currently looking for an exhuast and the 2 that i narrowed it down to are the Injen Track Edition with Ti Tips or the HKS. Both these exhausts look very similar and from videos ive watched, both sound great.

Does anyone have experience with both these exhausts, or either and want to share any input to help me make the decision. any kind of Pros or Cons.

As of right now i might be leaning toward Injen because its cheaper and they look almost identical, besides HKS's secondary canister things.

Injen and HKS are very similar designed, but Many people complain about injen gives you drone at certain RPMs, many people added X pipe on their Injen. HKS is pretty good exhaust, but it is pricey. Even hard to find their exhaust ti tips.

Search about each exhaust, ton of info out there. I also recommand keep your eyes on classifield.

If you like that design and the titanium tips, I would consider the motordyne gamma exhaust. It sounds deeper and more aggressive than the HKS. Contact Hydrazine on here for more info if you are interested.

+1 on the drone on Injen. Im currently running the Injen Ti True dual and I added the Magnaflow X Pipe and it STILL drones around 2k rpm. Im also running Titek NON-Resonated test pipes. The power increase is noticable, that may be because I also got a tune. Even though it drones I still love the Injen + magnaflow because its very throaty and at higher RPMs the x pipe brings back the flavorful VQ tone. Ill shoot a few video clips if you need want. Just let me know.

The Injen Track has a H-pipe. The original Injen exhaust does not.

You should take a look at the bumper tuck mod. Makes the injen look 10x better.

Good luck finding an Injen... I have tried 3 times and all have come back as "discontinued", yet people still advertise them for sale on their sites.

I have the HKS Hi-Power True Dual and personally, I don't have any complaints. Search around and your bound to catch a good deal. Whatever you do, stay away from that fake ebay crap...

Sorry to bring up an old thread, but wondering what the OP got. I'm doing the same right now. I wanted the Injen, but it's too late!

What about the Bassani or Stillen TD's? Any pros and cons on those?

Because he can't afford it. HKS is by no means garbage.

HKS sounds like ****. Reminds me of a cessna plane. I have the injen so I can tell you from first hand experience that its deep and throaty. It does drone at the low RPMs but you just gotta deal with it, it's definitely worth it.

How is putting up with an annoying sound worth it?

To the OP: It's all subjective, in the end it's your decision and listening to as many clips as possible will be the best way to decide. Power gains are about the same. The crappy thing about vid clips is everyone does the same ricer rev instead of in cabin sound with windows up at different speeds, drive bys, and idle.

Anyone know where to purchase the Injens? They're discontinued and I've been trying to look for them.
