Plus, no Motordyne exhaust for the 2nd gen yet (as far as I've seen).

oh man... where do i start, what you said was so ignorant.

1. Sound: obviously this is very opinion based but you might be the first person that i have heard say FI sounds terrible. have you heard HKS on the sedan?? go ahead and take a look at this video and let me know if you change your mind


2.No HP Increase: What are you basing that on? FI has done countless hours of R&D to make this as efficient as they can while keeping the Dbs to a reasonable level. FI as well as members on this forum have done dynos showing increases of 9-10 hp at the rear wheels.

3. Looking great: HKS is great if you want Big fart cans sticking out of the back of your 40k dollar car..... see video in #1 for an illustration.

Im normally not rude on these forums but coming in and just insulting somebodys purchase without any solid facts or grounds is just asking for it.

Tanabe...ehhhh

HKS...ehhhhhhhh

Fast Intentions.... FTW

I love my Stillen Exhaust.. Only thing is that I want it louder! It's believed to be the loudest system for our sedans. I don't think it's too loud at all.

^ If you don't have HFC's already, buy them. Hehe, you'll love the sound even more

Hopefully when I get my GoPro Hero cam I'll try and get some video clips of my Stillen exhaust with Invidia HFC. It sounds nuts

I can't wait for this video. I've been dying to hear the exhaust matched up with HFCs or Test Pipes.

I'm thinking about getting Berk HFCs or GTM Res Test Pipes. Waiting till after the winter.

I've heard mixed reviews about Stillens exhaust with HFC/Test Pipes. Some say it's raspy. Honestly, I don't mind a LITTLE rasp.

I'm really looking forward to that video. Even if it's just a cell phone recording, haha.

Zero rasp with my setup. Just the sound of air running through the HFC's. You always hear it with a VQ + HFC/TP. It sounds kinda like a turbo spooling

Just bought my 07X tonight and I LOVE the look of the ARK but the price tag is not very attractive. I am leaning towards the FI catback

On my G sedan i have Fast Intentions. I love the way it sounds. It's not to loud/not to soft. Also, i love the way the inside of the tips look. It looks really awesome.
