Default HKS Exhaust..... Best Sound?

Does HKS make the best sounding exhaust to most people. I heard the invidia exhaust in person before and its way to loud. I dunno, people post sound clips and yadda yadda yadda but drawing an opinion of an exhaust from a video clip,and real life are two different things. From the sound clips the HKS High Power sounds the best to me... Share your thoughts, Im looking for a Dual exhaust only.

I think it sounds 'alright' but most people love it. I think it's a bit raspy in my opinion.

On a NA S2K, I think that an HKS with a testpipe is the best sounding combo IMO. I use to love mine. After going turbo, I still miss it.

I still have mine on the car and I miss it The turbo has pretty much returned the car to stock sound. Every once in a while I hear a faint burble or rumble, but for the most part its now a stock sounding (but not stock accelerating) S2000.

i have the HKS hipower dual and it sounds awesome

a little drone, but very quiet in my opinion

but it gets some nice growl in vtec and WOT

loks great and sounds great and it wont get you pulled over by cops

BUT!

it has zero performance gains, and is not even a full 2.5 inch

i will be replacing my HKS with something else that makes power and reduces weight

for JUST sound and looks, the HKS is awesome!

Pretty much any dual exhaust makes no power right? I heard and have seen that only single exhausts do.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but my car put down 233.7 with the Invidia V3. Duals do make power, if you get something free-flowing enough.

The HKS is a very nice sound for daily driving.

What Dual Exhausts sound good and make power and are not loud as hell like the Invidia.
