GReddy Dual EVO vs HKS Super Dragers - which exhaust? How do they sound?

Been debating which exhaust to get. I've been told both have a nice deep rumble (which is what I want).

Is either exceptionally loud to the point of becoming annoying?

Are they both reliable quality products?

Do they both fit our CL-S and how do the tips look on the GReddy? (seen the HKS on blxmjx car)

Which would you recommend for a CL-S?

Thanks,

-J

Price, quality, looks, and sound all matter.
Jeez, I guess I can hardly be MORE picky.

i have the hks super dragger and i love that shit. it very very quiet under normal driving, but if u get on it or u go up a hill the great sound is there. its not high pitch and annoying. it low and deep. somewhat tin at times. plus barely any 1 around here has hks so ppl know its me comming just from the sound. also it definitely gives u some mo power. i put mine on this winter so i took off a 3 year old exhaust. so im sure i get a better gain then if i was to have a a newer cl and did the same. here's some pics. so u would have 2 of these baby's on ur car eh.

Actually the dual ones on the CL-S look a little different, if i remember blxmjx's pictures correctly. They look good on our car too.

What do you mean by it sounds tinny at times and yet doesn't sound high pitched?

Ya, the hks is an axle back exhaust and will bolt straight on. It takes about 20 minutes to install the exhaust. I've had both the greddy and hks exhausts before. They both sound similar. The only major difference is the style of the tip. The greddy tip is flared and rolled at the lip and the hks is one size w/out a rolled lip. So it depends on what look your after.

Where did you pick the greddys up at? Local or online? How much welding? When the paint begins to peel on my stocks, off they go.

Does Greddy or HKS have a better quality stainless? Just asking because I live on the water. A lot of corrosion.

How are the Greddy during 'normal' driving (below 4k). I see members with both, so I assume neither are fart pipes.

Any words on the Mugen. $$$$
