I need your honest opinion about exhaust...

I am planning on getting a new exhaust system this spring... Currently, I have a low cost mod of just X-pipe... but I want to invest in a full system.

I want a exhaust that isn't TOO loud... almost close to stock but sounding much better and mean!

I am debating ark or sillen. any suggestions?

do you have AWD?

ark and stillen are couple of the louder exhaust in my opinion. Look into invidia or fast intentions with the new 18inch resonators,

FI has the exact sound you're looking for imo, its a meaner stock note while stillen is louder than FI, look at some vids for reference

A brand new FI system will run you about $1,300.

^ that or you can find a used one at times around 800 from what iv seen, and the FI produces NO drone at all and taht is something Tony over at FI even guarantees.

Here's a vote for the Invidia's. Loud enough to be noticed, but subtle and civilized. It's also a bit more affordable than the FI.

I forgot what i found out about the differences, but just off the top of my head, the Gemini is for coupes (central Siamese twin style muffler) and the Q300 is for sedans with the dual separate muffler design.
