IMHO it's a win-win situation. They're both excellent systems. The Blitz is a bit louder than the HKS though, so it's actually quite loud. A better comparison would be the Blitz Nur-Spec and the HKS Hi-power in stainless steel, when it comes to price. Some folks don't like the material on the C/F Ti.

the blitz is crazy loud. lol. performance is about the same. i was reading the turbo magazine reviews.
who rated the BLitz higher? i've never seen a magazine do that.
HKS is good stuff. i love them. I like bitz too... but the sound plays a big part.

I'm a big fan of Blitz so I would say go with the Nur-Spec. HKS is great but I think the Nur-Spec just looks better. Since both exhausts have comparable gains, it really comes down to aesthetic preference and money! Either exhaust would be great though.

I have the Blitz, a lot of my friends have the HKS. I like both, but choose the Blitz because of the removable baffle. With the baffle it is quieter than the HKS. Without the baffle the sucka is loud! Beyond that tough, look at turbo magazine's web site, they have a dyno shoot out with many different WRX exhausts.

I think the HKS has a removable baffle on its 2nd gen models now (Hi-power as opposed to Hyper). If memory serves me right, Blitz had higher peak hp and HKS had wider torque range.

Im going to go with the HKS becuase I like the titanium tip. The CF covered canister is just a bonus. Might be a lil more expensive, but hey when you go show, you gotta expect to pay the price. Besides, looks cleaner IMO, will go better with my white 19z.

So does the HKS have more weight savings than the Blitz? I know that the HKS has the CF canister and titanium tip but I thought that was more of an aesthetic thing. More of a selling point than an actual performance gain.
Does the CF canister change the sound of the exhaust? Or is the baffling the same as any other? I'm curious as to how it sounds.
