yea, I got the hi-power and i like it. Its a VERY quiet exhaust. Basically, the only reason I got this exhaust was because some guy was selling all his "in store" parts, and had this 1 left over. I meet up with him and bought it for 175$ brand new in the box . Anyway, here are some pics.

you must be hearing them second hand generic axle backs. the hks has a nice little tone to it.

mine has a roar!!!no cat and a magnaflow resinator!!!!! loud as ****..but it's quiet before you do surgery to the stock stuff

I love mine! It doesn't sound ricey at all, it's not even loud. From outside the car people tell me it sounds just perfect, but from inside the car I can't even hear it unless my windows are down, and even then I can barely hear it. Maybe I'll get some piping later on but for now its cool.

^^when I said no midpipe I meant NO MODIFICATIONS to the midpipe.

Yeah, no mods. Just the axle back. I got it from a member off of this site for $125 shipped. It was only used for like 8000 miles. I love it. I say you should get it. Then later on you can add piping if its not enough for you.

I have it with Kamikaze hdr & stock midpipe. Not loud at low RPM's, nice tone actually. Mash the throttle though and she roars. BTW HKS determined the stock midpipe is quite adequate for our D17 sewing machine engines. Why pay extra couple hundred bucks only to lose low end torque and gain maybe 2 hp at top end? With HKS axle back I still have pretty good torque at low end and a noticeable torque and hp gain at midrange, but maybe mostly from header & no cat. Hope this helps.
