Invidia cat-back vs. all?

I'm looking at the Invidia DP + cat-back, but I dont' want an exhaust note that's too loud (yes, I understand that 'loud' is relevant). How does the Invidia Ti or SS compare to other systems (HKS Hiper, Greddy, Blitz, etc.) on sound. I'm pretty convinced of the power gains from this system, but I am concerned about the sound. Anyone know first-hand?

HKS cat-back makes the best power gain, so the if you rate it that way, it's better than invidia, matt a HKS cat-back to a bellmouth downpipe, it will most likely give you the best gains.

HKS is better because of their research on the system, the exhaust barely has any bends to it.

Yeah, I have also considered the Invidia DP with a HKS catback.

.OK...new question:.....

WIth reference to exhaust volume, if the Blitz Nur Spec R is a 10 and the Greddy Evo is a 1, how would you rate the HKS and the Invidia catbacks?

to me, the HKS is an 8.
my exhaust is pretty loud. Not too loud, but it's loud. I don't mind it when i'm driving around the city, but on highway drives, it's pretty annoying. First week i had it, it gave me headaches. Drones a lot too...

but the power is there, and it looks pretty good (tiny bit too big for my liking).

I'm considering an Invidia soon. anyone have pics of the invidia? i've seen several. One is with a canister style, the other looks liek the NuR spec... anyone know which one is for the wrx?
