Default Tanabe, J's, amuse, HKS??

sorry if this is already brought up in other threads, but I'm saving up for an exhaust, my favorite rightnow is Tanabe, but I can't really say anywayz since I haven't heard and know the pricing of all the exhausts. If you guys don't mind, can you guys post about the exhausts?? like quick description of sound, opinion, and cost?? again I've searched through the threads, and I've read about the exhausts, sorry if this is something that's repeated.

oh and could you state the weight and hp gain also??

I've heard HKS and Tanabe exhaust on the other cars, but not sure if they would sound the same on the S2k. I like the low Rpm sound of the tanabe, since I like low deep sounds for an exhaust.

thanx.

Funny that you say that.. when I read the topic I thought to myself "I'd take ethier the J's, Amuse, or HKS (which I have) but I wouldn't touch the Tanabe"

The Tanabe sounds like a Civic, may be just me.. I hate low throaty sounds on a 4 cylinder..

The J's exhaust with a straight pipe sounds mean as hell and helps performance, HKS sounds awesome (very refined.. Ferrari like sound) but little weight savings and no performance gain.. and the Amuse is very expensive, looks awesome, has a performance gain, and HUGE weight savings..

Pick your poison.. the HKS will take around a week to get probably, and the J's and Amuse will take forever to get.
