Best Exhaust?
Im interested in exhaust, not the full system though. What is the best overall? i love the look of the HKS but how does it sound? my friend also told me to look into the hyper medalion. Any info would be appreciated. thanks

I ended up getting the Comptech exhausts. I was originally supposed to get the HKS through a group buy on here, but I had unexpected bills pop up (more like forgotten bills 
), only to be surprised by my fiance with the Comptech's. I love them. They're a little bit smaller then the HKS, which I like. The sound isn't as loud as the HKS, but I like that too. The Comptechs give a perfect growl.... really makes it sound like the car has 260+hp now. It's also nice b/c it's a deep growl, not a whine like some of the "ricer" exhausts. Here's a link to a sound clip with Comptechs and a CAI. There was one on here for the HKS', but I don't think it is still working.....

did you guys do a side by side comparrison of HKS vs Comptech? We did it hear in chicago (with both cars having the same mods), and the Comptech's were LOUDER then the HKS, we tested it a few times....and everyone agreed that the comptech was louder.

Seems like inside would be more important since you're going to have to listen to that most of the time..

I compared my Dragers to Bobowah and TypeSDragoon's Comptechs and I have to say that the HKS are QUIET compared to the Comptech Exhaust, inside and outside.
