The CF will not look ricey at all in fact, it is a lot more stealth looking than the SS. I for one dislike all that ricey, fast & furious
I have the non-res CF system & love it. The SS has a deeper sound while the CF has a little higher pitched sound. Try to find someone out towards you that has them. They are really nice & you can't do business with anyone better than Tony. His work is amazing & his customer support unparalleled.
