So I have posted before about my Berk HFC's and my HKS Hi-power exhaust, but it has been a while, and had a question for you guys.

I had the HKS on for a year before I purchased the Berk HFC's. Then I purchased the Berk HFC's last year and have had them on the car for about 5,000 miles. I got them because I love the way the HKS exhaust sounds, and I just wanted the exhaust to be a tad bit louder. Unfortunately when I bought the Berk's there were really no sound clips of that combo or of anyone who had the HKS Hi-power with HFC's so I bought the Berk HFC's based on customer's reviews. Now I feel that the exhaust may be a little loud for my liking.

So my question is this: Should I maybe get different HFC's? Would a different brand maybe be quieter?

I have been looking into maybe swapping out my whole exhaust for the Fast intentions set up but I don't want to be one of those people who gets made fun of for not researching their exhaust before purchasing, because I do love the way the HKS sounds but just wish it was a tad bit louder than with the stock cats, and a tad bit quieter than with the HFC's.... Haha that sounds like I am nit-picking when I actually type it out! Thanks for any input guys.
