I had a look at the FI exhaust but was worried that it may be a bit to noisy inside, it does look awesome from behind though

I just don't want my car to drone at all, and from what i heard about the Stillen, they didn't have any drone at all so thats why I initially chose that one. I'm happy to go either way really, just as long as the sound is good, with no raspiness or drone lol

What's everyone leaning towards? Also how much does the FI cost in comparison to the Stillen? (sorry haven't checked out the price yet)
Hey there evse82, no need for the sorry at all mate. We all have to work at some stage. Hopefully your (will) enjoying your new job.

The prices and videos of the FI Setups are HERE or

This exhaust system is designed for maximum performance while keeping the stock note of the vehicle intact. Only enhancing it by making it deeper, smoother and louder.

The breakdown
Tubing: 2.5" T-304 stainless steel
Mufflers: 6" x 14" round perforated core T-304 stainless steel
Resonators: 4" x 12" / 4" x 18" round perforated core T-304 stainless steel
Tips: 4.5" round w/3" perforated core T-304 stainless steel

All of our resonators, mufflers and tips are straight through perforated core eliminating any baffles or restrictions. This entire exhaust system was designed to have minimal bends ensuring the greatest power and torque gains possible!

Speaking of gains, we netted an average of over 20 RWH over the stock cat back. Keep reading, you will see for yourself.

Turnaround time: First come first serve basis. As of July 15th 2009 we are backed up 3.5 weeks. However, this system is made here in house by the fabricators that designed it. We make all our exhaust systems in house. Always have and always will. Some of our competitors will have you wait 3-6 months to receive your exhaust and wait to put in their order until they have 25+. This is what happens when you are waiting on another source to build your products. We would rather do a sale instead of a group buy. This way you can jump on at your leisure and not be dependent on others to reach a number! No way no how, not here!

The Pricing

F.I. TDX Cat Back
Straight X Pipe: $1,100.00 (Loudest option)
12" Resonators: $1,230.00
18" Resonators: $1,260.00 (Recommended if stock cats are off of the car)
Carbon Fiber muffler option: + $175.00

High Flow Cats
$480.00 W/ Purchase of cat back
$500.00 Separately

Resonated Test Pipes
$355.00 W/ Purchase of cat back
$375.00 Separately
Hopefully i'm allowed to do that. Personally i was going the Stillens all the way through, Intake/CBE etc.. It wasnt until i noticed the thread in the Exhaust section that i changed my mind.

I'm going for the Resonated Test Pipes/CBE with 18" Resonator and CF Muffler. I streamed the videos through my PS3 (sounds better than my laptop LOL) and was extremely happy with the results. I've PM'd/Emailed FI for shipping prices to Aus as well. If people want to go that way, maybe we can do that.

Sry for the Hijack as i personally appreciate the effort you have put in so far for the Stillen stuff.
