I've owned/heard all 4 exhausts you mentioned on my s2k, and I've heard all 4 in person on my friends' fits.
If stock is rated 1/10 in volume and (0/10 drone):
Tanabe.....2/10 (0/10 drone)
HKS..........4/10 (1/10 drone)
Greddy......6/10 (3/10 drone with silencer; 6/10 without)
Skunk2......8/10 (10/10 ridiculous drone)
I've never been pulled over in my s2k for exhaust with my hks and greddy single (silencer) and I daily 20 miles a day. I hope this helps somewhat.
I will get the HKS when I get my fit

you can be pulled over at any time for modified exhaust. BUT, if it meets the 95 db requirements and you carry certification, you may just get away with it. Also, you can challenge the officer with which device he or she used to measure the db for which they pulled you over. Also, IIRC, they have to measure it at an angle of 45 deg off the bumper and 3 ft away. They will most likely still ticket you and you'll have to appear in front of a judge, show your proof then pay the $25 fee and be on your way. Is it worth it?
California Vehicle Code 27150-27159

I didn't say not to do it, did i? The OP questions the legality of it and I cited it accordingly. Also, its up to the discretion of the LEO to write it as a fix it ticket or not. I have had that ticket both ways.
