Hi guys, i am seriously pulling out my own hair with trying to make a decision with an exhaust. I'll take this time to tell you the likes/dislikes of each exhaust and basically what im going to use it for.
My S is used a fair bit and i would like an exhaust that is on the "quieter" side down low in the rpm for normal every day driving, although when i get into the RPM's i would like for it to really open up and give me a nice tone. I do not like the sound of Single's as i find they have that weird sound when you deacellerating which kind of makes the car sound ricer and i want to avoid this at all costs.
The two exhaust that are in question are the HKS Hi Power and the GReddy Racing Ti-C (Both Being a cat back dual system)
I always had my heart set on the HKS Hi Power exhaust and i have read up and heard that the exhaust provides no performance gains whatsoever as apposed to the GReddy where people have said they feel a bit more 'uumph' in the car and both provide better throttle response. I have actually heard the HKS in the flesh and it sounds perfect to how i want it and have yet to hear the GReddy so i cannot get a good understanding just from watching youtube videos. They are both made of SUS304 stainless steel although the GReddy has a titanium heat treated tip. I am not sure of the weight difference although its good to know they are lighter then stock and dont care about a lbs here or there.
The videos below are probably the clearest and probably the best quality that i found around on youtube so you guys can get an idea.

The exhaust sound i am trying to avoid that i mentioned earlier is Spoon Sports N1 Muffler which can be heard at 2:18 in this video and again at 4:45 with the Power House Amuse R-1000 Titan.

Please also do not try and convince me into other systems like tanabe or fujitsubo as this will just create more confusion, although any constructive input is welcome.
Thanks for taking the time:)
