HKS Axleback Exhaust for Sedan

I have searched but could not find any good pics and/or sound clips/videos of the HKS Hi-Power Exhaust. I am interested in only axle back - and I have seen Tanabe and want to compare and contrast them.

Anyone own these and can share videos/images/experience with this exhaust for their G37 sedan?

Seems there are a ton of reviews for Tanabe but not much for HKS - so am a little skeptical on their quality and sound.
Thanks

Axle back not worth the money. I would just go for aftermarket mufflers of your own and have an exhaust shop make you a axle back exhaust.... Just an opinion

Who do you recommend that has a deep tone / quality without the rice burner sound?

Magnaflow, HKS, flowmaster, and borla. Flowmaster and Borla give you a deep muscle sound. HKS is usally just real deep, magnaflow is deep and quiet. I'm not a exhaust sound master but this is what I realized from all the cars I have had and the exhaust they had for these cars. I dunno why this isn't popular on G's but most car forums I have been on a lot of people go custom. Its real cheap 3-400 dollars you get to pick the style you want and tone. Just my two cents, might start a thread on this.

Most people don't have the HKS because they look honestly really ricey and the cannons are huge, Ark Invidia and Tanabe are all pretty popular choices for exhausts.

Has anyone hears the hks for the sedans? Our guy James has one and it sounds really good. He has HFCs now and it sounds even better. But the cans are huge

I have the HKS setup and love it. Not everyone can rock the look, but IMO the setup looks aggressive. Nice deep sound without the highway drone of the ARK, Stillen or Tanabe. If I knew how to, I would love to post a sound clip. There are a few on YouTube.

BTW, since HKS USA closed, it will be more difficult to find HKS parts that are in stock at some dealers. Just an FYI.

Nice deep sound without the highway drone of the ARK, Stillen or Tanabe. I don't know what vehicle you heard the TB's on but it wasn't a G because mine have absolutely NO drone at any RPM.

I'm rocking the HKS axle back and have paired it with FI hfc's and an exhuast depot y-pipe and it's VERY loud. It's got a great sound (deep when cruising but really opens up) and I love the look but it might not be for everyone.
