Exhausts wont exactly sound the same as a video in person...

A better way to look at is ask yourself, "What do I want my exhaust to do?"
  • Louder
  • Deeper
  • Raspier
  • Quieter
  • More Exotic Sounding
  • More Powerful

Then figure out your budget of how much you will Actually be willing to spend, then the answers to those two questions can help you decide which one is best for you... Be it one of those two, or another brands...

1. There is a Search feature on the forum, I highly recommend using it.

2. There is an entire Tech Area devoted to Intake/Exhaust. Highly recommend researching that section.

And yes, I myself have Fast Intentions. Love it.

Yes most of us are running F.I. exhausts b/c it is a great product and has the best gains so far. That is not cheap either. Check out the search tab there are plenty of threads on this.

- Most Options in terms of customizing what setup you want.
- EXCELLENT Customer Service
- Made in USA
- Losts of satisfied customers, videos, reviews, dynos to research

Again, Search + Tech Area = Your Friend.

As far as intakes, you can do it with cost in mind and do drop in filters and maf tubes. Or you can go full up CAI like Stillen Gen III or Z1 or the new Takedas coming out soon...

It's up to user preference on whats important to you.

Upgrading a car will be expensive depending on what you go for. Even after all the discounts that I have received for my recent purchases of cai,lth,cbe,nst aod pulley, jwt clutch flywheel combo, re-11 tires and a tune over 6gs. So I would start with a budget first. What I did is just wait till I did everything at once instead of little by little it was just easier this way not to mention if I decide to change my mind half way down while saving it works out.

I'm already @ $10.5k invested after spending $35 to buy the damn car.

But with the prices my parts should have been... I'd be closer to $20k so I really can't complain.

Out of those 2 I would choose neither. There are just sooooo many better options out there.

Maybe. It's like women. Some like blonds. Some like brunettes. Some like redheads. If you want to be like everyone else and tend to find comfort in knowing most people won't question your decisions, get the F.I. (not slamming the F.I., as I'm sure it's well built, sounds great and bumps horsepower nicely).

If you like to make your own choices, and sometimes like to have things that are a bit unique from the masses, pick your own choice. You may decide the F.I. is the one for you, and that's cool. Seems that everyone that has it loves it, so it must be really good. Or you may end up with something most of us don't own, and that's cool too.

I really like the Borla. No rasp, no drone, just deep Borla growl that is consistent, yet not overbearing.
