Fast Intentions Exhaust in person

To those who have heard FI exhaust in person, how loud is it, I have borla exhaust right now and want to know how much louder FI is than it. I'm thinking about switching it up, what do you think?

Na, you can do better than FI....!

Since I'm on the 5th exhaust system I'm somewhat of an expert....
Whatever you get will be better than your Borla system in sound and quality.
(that was my third system) I've heard several of our members cars with FI
exhaust and wasn't impressed. (didn't tell them) The system I settled on is
HKS, it has the sound and quality I've alway wanted....not to mention the very cool look!

The FI exhaust is not louder than the HKS but is louder than the Borla.

I put mine on last week and I love it. A lot of people on this site say it's quiet, and it is compared to exhausts with hfc or tp, but i thought it was pretty loud in person, and I was concerned it would be too quiet. I still might get HFC though, because my intake kinda drowns it out at high rpm.

Fast Intentions is one of the the least raspiest exhaust out there for the VQ. And I've heard almost every different kind of exhaust setup/combinations available for the VQ thanks to the huge G-community in SoCal.

F.I + Stock cats: No rasp
F.I + HFC: No Rasp
F.I + Resonated Test Pipes: No rasp in normal driving and just a little at WOT

Any VQ with non-resonated test pipes with obviously rasp with any setup.
