HKS Power Spec L ti v.s M-7 Titan ?

I'm debating between theese two exhaust systems. I've heard several youtube mic clips on both. I can't make up my mind.
- Aesthetically speaking the M7 looks sharper because of titanium tips.
- M7 seem a little louder to me and deeper toned.
- Hks Power Spec L TI sound more high pitch but not as loud.
I wonder performance wise which one will be better for future expansion in case I go force induction (Super charger)....

Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

The M-7 is awesome. My friend has it, and my other friend has the HKS. The M7 is a bit more pricy @ 1,400, but the HKS isn't very appealing to me. M7 seems straight out of the movie Tokyo Drift, and the downshifts are crazy. The M7 was constructed to fit turbo/SC applications so I think the M7 might fit your needs better than the HKS. Not doubting HKS though, they make great parts, but in person the exhaust is a little on the quiet side and less aggresive. Both should have equal performance ouputs.

Yea I'm in the same boat. I want the buddy club spec II but no one has it in my area. Videos don't do any exhaust justice, I'd try to hear it in person before purchasing
