How often do you drive your car?
For a weekend car get the Invidia.
For anything more than weekends the Invidia will rattle your brain loose.
The HKS sounds great.
Try to hook up with people in your area and listen to both.

Care to clarify? That statement is .
You can't have horsepower without torque, they are directly related. Both matter.

If your statement were true, we would all be dying to "upgrade" to a stump-pulling 9.0L Inline-6 turbodiesel with a 1600 rpm redline, 190 hp, and 1000 ft-lb of torque.

Get the Invidia and a test pipe. the test pipe lessens the drone, and the combo makes the S sound like a race car. I love it.

I have heard too many stories about the HKS actually losing horsepower. supposedly as much as 15 hp. The Invidia has proven gais of 3.7 hp. I just refuse to bolt something on my car that will rob it of power, no matter how sweet it may sound. Yea, the Invidia is loud, but not like a civic fart can more like an F1 car!!. Remember Invidia's do come with silencers to quiet it down some. Take the plunge, get the Invidia and get noticed!!

I wouldn't use any number given by a manufacturer in a product to product comparison.

If the HKS lost 15 hp (which it doesn't) they would be last to admit it.
