And the Fast Intentions sounds nothing like the Stillen (Coupe). They both retain the VQ note, with Stillen being the closest to stock, but they are very distinguisable from each other. Trust me, I hear both every day

As for the exhaust giving gains what you said is not true and true. Some how this topic always comes up and will never go away. The ehaust does give performance. If it didn't people wouldn't run better times. It depends on what other mods you have done to the car. If you car is stock then you won't see a big difference at all, but when you combine your exhaust with an intake (yes a intake will give gains as well and no it doesn't take away HP like everyone says), spacer or anything else for that matter you will see nice gains.

You stated that "Stillen is going to provide the most gains [over other exhausts]", which I then stated its gains over other exhausts is negligible because of its additional weight.

Maximum gains were 13 lb-ft of torque and 12 horsepower at 4400rpm, with peak gains of 8.5whp at 6300rpm and 8wtq at 4900rpm. The exhaust note is slightly deeper and more aggressive than stock but it's a mild upgrade in terms of sound...it just enhances that unmistakably VQ growl a bit and there’s zero resonance or other sound intrusion while cruising on the highway. I'm very very happy with this system, plus it fits perfectly. The welds are not JDM tight yO, they are MIG welds done by hand in the good old US of A, but it's full stainless and all the parts that show (mufflers and tips) have been polished to a mirror shine, so it looks just as good on the car as any other system. But for me, the most important part is the performance and on power gains this system is top notch IMO.
Here's a few pics of the system on my G...
