IMO i don't like either. I'm not a fan of angled exiting mufflers. I prefer a clean fit like the buschur racing. My.02

ditto^

Maybe he meant the HKS carbon ti. That just has titanium muffler where as the Greddy Ti is full titanium. About the same price (greddy a little more expensive). If you dont care about the loudness then gor for greddy. Reason HKS is almost same price as Greddy is due to the HKS name.

Sorry bud, not yet. The only Titanium complete exhausts we carry are for the Supra and RX-7's.

he's referring to the carbon ti probably... i'm sure you guys know that, but everyone always jumps on everyone's mistakes on here... I'd go HKS all the way. You won't find a nicer and better fitting product from anyone except for maybe Works.

I have the Greddy, the first version that has a straight tip and I love it. It's kinda up there in price but I love the sound. You'll probably need a heat shield for the cut out on your bumper. Also think of it this way, you paid XXX amount of dollars for a car that come factory with alot of the top of the line parts. Why go cheap now? I say get the Greddy.

I have the Greddy Ti as well and its loud but weighs 10lbs only. I just picked up the stock exhaust the other day for the first time and was shocked at how heavy it was.... its like 4 times heavier than the Greddy.

Go with Greddy. Its full Titanium verses just the muffler on the HKS. Given the prices of both exhausts, its truly the better value. HKS and Greddy both make good products. One manufacture just does better than the other in certain areas.

I have the greddy Ti and love it. It is 95% straight exhaust. Not angled hardly at all. It weighs 9lbs compared to the ~45lbs the stock weighs. So you get more hp and 40hp weight savings
