Default HKS Hi-Power help on MY04....

I have a few questions for the experts

I bought an Invidia last week and am having it removed tommorrow. It's way too loud for me, I just can't take it. I have barley driven the car since I put it on and my fiance won't ride in it becuase it gives her a headache. Plus it sits very crooked on the car, which really bothers me.

I am thinking I should have gone with the HKS Hi Power exhaust possibly. For those who have it, what are your thoughts on interior noise (especially vs. the Invidia if you have heard both).

Does the HKS center up on the car correctly?

Also, where is the best price on the HKS able to be found?

I am open to other suggestions on exhausts if anything else sounds more suitable to you guys.

Thanks in advance!
Aaron

Cool

HKS=quieter than Invidia (most exhausts are quieter than Invidia)
Question: do you have the silencers installed and it is still too loud or, do you not want the silencers installed at all?

The fittment on the HKS is up in the air. I have talked to people who have had no problems on the later year models but the Hipwers i have were moddified by the first owner to make them truly even coming out of the rear. He shaved one of the canister tips slightly to even them out once they were on. I can't tell that the tips have been shaved at all but I did have to loosen bolts and move stuff around once it was hung and hand tightend to get the tips off of my bumber enough for my liking.

Best sounding exhaust I have heard thus far IMHO. Not the lightest out there although, it is about 15 lbs lighter than stock from what I have gathered in the other threads.

My invidia came with the wrong silencers so I never got to hear it with them in
