i honestly have never heard a stillen exhaust on the 370 in person.

no one i know or hang out with runs them.

generally most people i know run FI exhaust or some form of AAM/FI mix. a lot of people love the FI TP/HFC/LTH and pair the rest to their budget and sound preference.

so another silly question while i have your attention, berk test pipes or something similar would give more gains than say stillen High flow cats?

I was all set on buying Motordyne until I heard the F.I. Problem is I haven't heard the Motordyne in person so I can't be sure BUT the price on the Motordyne is out of control.

AND the service from FI is fantastic in my limited experience.

I'm looking into the invidia gemini cbe. By itself it sounds "ok" but then I saw another vid where it was paired up with high flow cats and it sounded PURDDDDDDY GOOOD.

Test pipes will get you the most gains but take into consideration of the smell and emissions testing in your state. From what I have read you will lose 4-8 HP using HFC'S compared to the test pipes.
I will be going to hfc's when my warranty runs out because in some area of Texas they are using the ole sniffer on your car depending on the county you live in.

I used to run it with test pipes. It sounded very good.

I hear ya on the price, which is why I still don't have it. I would personally pick Motordyne over FI.

The sound of the Motordyne is amazing.

I saw that video! Sounds really good. I'm guessing like other it's subtle while cruising but loud when you mash the pedal?

How was the drone with the test pipes? also what set up are you running now, why the change?

The system is well resonated and honestly, the VQ drones with whatever you put on it. To give a straightforward answer, Minimal drone, even with test-pipes. When you get on the gas, it makes a great sound and has plenty of volume.

Right now I run the Tomei Expreme

Why? Because I have mental issues.
