hks carbon ti or stromung dual tip
please talk me into or out of getting either one of these catbacks!
hks: great build quality but a lil ricey
stromung: everyone says the build quality is nice, but from the pictures, it doesn't look that great to me...but the sound is excellent!
so basically, sleeper status or the hks? im leaning towards the hks, but please give me some input! thanks

i'd say go with the HKS since they are really old school and i think it just looks more clean and sounds great. planning on getting one myself after my friend put it on his 04WRX looks freaking ill........

I think it is all about what you really want, both are great quality, I like my stromung dual tip nice sleeper look, sounds sweet. If you want a big can then HKS is very nice as well.

I have the HKS non-CF and it is loud, but after a week my hearing was damaged so I don't notice it any more. Another thing to think about is that the HKS is not full stainless. Only the muffler is polished stainless and the rest is coated with some black material. I love the sound of my HKS and recommend it if you want to really hear the car. Believe me, I never accidentally leave it in 4th gear anymore!

i think the new hks hiper exhaust have a different version now. They have a flex section and isn't coated with the black material. 02 Black Wrx had one but sold it, so u can pm him if more info is needed.

He wasn't thinking of getting the Hiper though, he was/is getting the carbon-ti which is full stainless. You'll be really happy with the HKS. It was a bit loud at first but you'll get used to it. I installed my HKS and up/down pipes all at once so it was a major change from stock. But I grew to like the sound a lot, really deep rumble and sounds plain mean at WOT.
