HKS or GREDDY?

[s1415u]

Ok so ive been torn between the HKS Hi-Power exhaust OR the Greddy Ti-C exhaust. Ive listened to both on Youtube but they both sound equally awesome and Im having a hard time trying to decide.If anyone has any good reviews on either of these exhaust on a KA24de that would be much appreciated. Mainly what im looking for is which one keeps that low deep rumble even at really high rpms without getting raspy or crackling.

[badbob2121]

i would go hks..

[s1415u]

See im kinda leaning towards the HKS but I wanted some input from some other people with the greddy. Cause i dont want to make a decision and not be 100% satisfied. Cause once I install it theres no returning it ya know

[Raz007]

I have the HKS, I love it. The tone is great, but I dunno how just the catback would sound. I installed an OBX header and test pipe at the same time. Can't say the tone is very low at high rpms, but it still sounds great.

[jordans240]

i have hks hi power and it never gets raspy just deeper as you go through the rpms

[AZ89two4Tsx]

I think Greddy went bankrupt again not too long ago. Idk, seems like their still selling parts.

I would honestly just get a muffler shop's exhaust or a BRM one. They're all going to sound the same, you're just paying for the name. There's no "magic muffler."

[jordans240]

ya im with him ^ but i bought my used so it wasnt so bad

Awesome then thats what im looking for then lol.

Well I thought the same thing at one point but when my buddy got is s14 he had some wack ebay special on his car and it sounded like S**T past 3.5k rpms and It made me realize that yes your paying for name but your also paying for many hrs or R&D along with great sound/quality

Well I figured the tone wont get to crazy loud cause besides my CIA the entire car is all stock

[Kalypso]

blitz nur spec is also a nice exhaust

[s1415u]

Yeah I looked around Youtube for some videos of it, but I just wasnt that impressed with its sound quality but It could have been due to that fact that it was filmed on a crappy camcorder and I was listening from my laptop lol.

[indomiekid1]

i agree with az
i have a borrowed apex-i gt spec and its a ridiculous, it has 3.75" piping
i have a ebay header, dowpipe, and test pipe, it sounds very deeeeeeep!
the rasp tone is from just having the cherry bomb type resonator.
on my old 240 i had the same set up in the front but had a ebay special exhaust, and it sounded like s*** around 3k rpm, went to the muffler shop and added another resonator, it was a bit better....kinda.

i'd go with the hi-power.
good luck choosing yo.

[night240]

I had blitz it sound real mean. but for OP I would go with HKS!

[Caveit77777]

I've had domestic muscle car guys/friends straight up laugh at my exhaust. I turn the car on and the laughing stopped and they said it sounded nice. I've got a dual can ebay exhaust i got used from my buddy for $90. There's no need to dish out 500 and 600 bucks on some pipes. Quite frankly I think mine sounds better than every 240 exhaust iv'e heard in person even though that number might not m be many lol.

[numbnuts240]

i've got a greddy ti-c on my car with stock header and catco cat. i love everything about it. even with the silencer in, it sounds great.

[scotty-2-forty]

I have the APEXi GT Spec stainless steel cat-back (95mm (3.74 inch) mandrel bent w/115mm tip). I've had it for 7-8 years now and not a single problem with quality. It looks the same as it did new. Whilst not a GReddy or HKS (for sake of staying on topic), the reason I bring this up is to vouch for quality. I'd gladly spend the money again for a proven high-flow, true mandrel bent top quality stainless steel system with a sound that is music to the ears. I actually had my system on the car with the stock KA just prior to building it, and it sounded pretty good on the NA too.

[s1415u]

Well thanks for all the input and advice, but I decided to go ahead and get the HKS Hi-Power after all . Also I bought it from IntensePower.com, has anyone had any good or bad experiences with them?(this might be for a whole nother thread lol) Unfortunately there HKS shipment from Japan didn't leave on time so instead of my exhaust being here in 1.5 weeks, I got to wait until the end of this month or the beginning of July which really sucks but whatever...I smell a build thread in the near future.

[Gcustoms]

If it was my choice I'd go hks, but definetly prefer agency power exhaust.

[LeZoSo]

I heard the HKS can be annoying/too loud.

I'm also looking for an exhaust, the person I bought the car from has some cheapo one on that looks like a soda can...I'd rather have a stock muffler then the one I have now.

[OM3GA]

HKS or Greddy will be about the same fitment wise etc. Go with which one you like more. The Ti-C is a bit more expensive but the titanium tip is pretty sexy hot.

[CRyan]

The dual n1 has always sounded pretty amazing on the KA to me. I have the HKS hi power on my SR, and its VERY deep. Like. Vibrates pictures off walls deep.

[ghostowl79]

have you seen the videos of the borla exhuast look at does . great deep tone without the ricer sound of the others

[numbnuts240]

i got mine <$500 a long time ago. i don't remember if it was a new product and still low in price, or i stumbled on a sale or something. but yes, that tip shore is purdee

[Xdisaster240sX]

ON my hatch I have a Apexi N1 clone and love it. My wife has a HKS hi-power and it sounds so effing awesome. Its really deep.

Yeah honestly I figured they would fit about the same and even sound very similar, but Im not gonna lie I do like the way the Greddy looks cause of the brunt tip (so sexy) but the price of the HKS is what really drove me to chose it also and I got a killer deal on it

Sell you mine

[Raz007]

The HKS installs very easily too, after working for about 2 hours to get my obx header installed, the catback system bolted up in about 20 minutes...... all the hangers were in the exact right spot, and it was a breeze. And the first time I started it, I was in love.........

[Seanzyyy]

a few friends of mine have hks and it sound's really good.
i just got a megan cat-back and it sounds really good as well.

between greddy and hks, i'd go hks.
only because i know i'd like it.

don't eliminate other brands though,
there are a bunch out there that sound tasty

[adrianfromthecastle]

imo, 3" catbacks sound gross on a ka24de... but thats just me

[bllabong89]

yea, I have apexi gt spec and i love the way it looks but it is just too big on na. once i do a turbo swap it will sound better but what can you expect from 3.75" exhaust. And don't hesitate to check the classifieds. I found mine bnib for 460 shipped

[Seanzyyy]

really?
mine actually has a nice tone to it,
stays deep as i go through the rpm's.
and it's fairly quiet at idle.

I had a chance on Hi-Power but sold it and bought the Trust PE II.
