Fast Intentions Exhaust People!

All of these videos of the FI dont seem to do justice for it because the FI has nothing but great reviews but everytime i see a video it doesnt excite me as much as other exhaust videos, is it just me or the videos?

On a scale of 1-10 what would u rate your satisfaction of your exhaust??

if anyone has a video that'll prove to me its worth it please dont be shy to post all of em!

I would suggest finding another G in SoCal that has the FI exhaust and meet up with him in person to hear it. Vids never capture how an exhaust sounds in person.

I was expecting a 9 out of 10 (10 would be that 2005ish FX sound) and when I first heard the exhaust I'd say it was about a 7-8 but its broken in more and is def about 9. Stock would be a 4 out of 10 imo.

I have had mine for a year now and it has definitely broken in. The sound is so tamed and once you start approaching 90 MPH, it is pure OMG!

I am about to get the FI HFC's but now I am debating the Berk's HFC's from all the reviews. I just don't want to get the SES light. IDK which one would be better. I have over researched and now confused.

There are 2 things that I can't get over with the FI exhaust...........

1. The Price......so high
2 It seems to me that the exhaust is peiced together from Magnaflow stuff. Maybe thats just me and I'm wrong.

^ exactly....it looks like a cheap set up with mainly magnaflow parts and sounds a tiny bit louder than OEM

might as well go to local shop and build your own magnaflow exhaust for 80% cheaper

I was on the fence about getting the FI exhaust and the price was the killer for me. I already had a $1300+ exhaust (ARK) and i didn't want to spend another 1300+ for an exhaust that I may get rid of in a few months.

I decided to go Invidia + Berk HFC instead and I think i made the right choice. I was able to get the Invidia CBE and HFCs for less than the FI would have cost alone! Can't beat that.

PS- my ARK CBE exhaust is for sale in the classifieds!

Go FI. they build their own cats not buy them from magnaflow. from what i have heard their cats have the lowest SES light problems of any brand.
