Default Tanabe or HKS?

Really depends on your preferance. I personally like Tanabe cause they arent incredibly loud, and they keep a low profile by being tucked a bit farther in, utilizing the oval chamber, rather than your average fart can. It basically means its one less thing to catch a cop's eye or ear for that matter.

The HKS is nice if you live or drive in an area where the local police arent on any modified car's case. For example, places like California especially, where recently, new laws were passed, prohibiting the modification of allot of things on the car, most recently i beleive they passed a law saying you cant modify your ride height. Thats so beat.
