F.I. is a big seller here with great customer service, Motordyne has a brand new exhaust system out and I can personally vouch for their customer service.
ARK as well as Berk are good choices as well. Take yourself to the exhaust sticky and start critiquing. If you planning on changing the cats to TP's, RTP's, resonated cats, or ART pipes, it will change your exhaust tone as well. Same can be said with Long tube headers.

I run a setup not normally used here which is shown in my sig. If you want to hear what it sounds like, just peruse through my video's. I put a lot of detailed info in there regarding my particular setup. I specifically wanted LTH's with cats to go with a CBE and this is what I came up with. LTH with HFC + CBE = ?
That's the problem...there are a lot of choices. lol

Thanks for the quick response and all of the detailed info!

F.I it looks like they make the most whp from what I've seen in my research so far. Can't find the Motordyne exhaust on their site (guessing they didnt post it yet so I'll robably search the forums for it).

I'm not a fan of the hissing and rasp and I definitely don't want to sound like a ricer civic with 5" exhaust. I like a deep throaty sounding exhaust. I'm probably going to go with HFC's. Long tube headers down the road.

I had an Injen exhaust on my genesis coupe which had a great sound and decent performance gains.

Just for my own knowledge...what is the difference (performance and sound) of resonated vs non resonated?
