I already have a PRL intake and want to upgrade the exhaust so it makes a bit more noise. I have been looking a tthe AWE touring and HKS Hi power. Have seen a lot of youtube videos online and strongly considering the HKS based on the sound but cant pick. I know it is a bit more compared to the touring. Looking for opinions.

inb4 the whole AWE slip-joint/QC comments.
We have a perfect fitment guarantee and an industry leading warranty. OP should make a choice based on the qualities and soundtrack he is looking for in a system. My PMs are open if there are any questions.

I don't doubt that and I personally consider your products, it was not meant to be a slight at AWE. It was more of a warning to expect some "slip joints = bad" comments in the thread.

First off, I’m bias as a HKS fan and have the HKS Legamax which is only slightly louder than stock.

But out of the two you posted… I’d lean towards the Awe touring.

Everyone I have talked to that installed the HKS Hi-Power complained about how bad the drone was on the highway. A few of them even sold theirs.

All personal opinion based on the sound and looks you want.

AWE is deeper and the tips are black or chrome.
HKS is subtle in my opinion (depending on which model) and tips are dual and blue.

We have them all and can help you narrow it down.
