Espelir JGT 500 is way louder than the HKS Hi Power. HKS loses to JGT 500. Just listen to ej20legacy's car, he's got the JGT 500.

jgt 500 is definetly louder (sounded like a helicopter), i used to have this with all cats and it still set off alarms. i have an hks now and its A LOT quieter, plus it doesn't drone on the highway like the 500.

I'm so into guns that when I read this thread title I thought you said "HK or Hi-Power, which is louder?"

I think the HK USP Compact in .357sig would be louder than both. LOL. But if you want a loud exhaust, the Kakimoto GT1.0z titanium makes the JGT500 sound quiet. Haha.

I just picked one up a few weeks ago. It's pretty loud. Maybe even louder than my brother's z06.
