End of the day you'll be happy with either. If you want a visible exhaust go the FI if you want it more stealth go the Stillen. Stillen/berk hfc combo give good gains, not sure about the FI stuff with gains though, Any QLD guys who have installed them here? :) maybe post the gains below (there is another thread on this I know :P)
I think (dont hold me to this) semtex and another member got 28rwkw and 27rwkw respectively with the stillen cat back and berk hfc's
FI guys post below haha

Hey all, sorry for no reply as of yet but have been at work the last two days and shift work dosnt really allow much time to post, plus i hadnt notice this thread. Well my link -> SEE HERE has a few vids in it (adding photos tonight). NONE of the videos of any of the exhausts do them justice.
I went with the Fast Intentions RTP's, CBE and CF uffler ( Sale Thread) based on the videos i had heard. The Stillens sounded great also, but my ears at least thought the F.I. was that bit deeper and the sound that comes from them at High RPM is just great. Now from the videos to what i actually hear is different. The difference being is that it is much LOUDER than it appears in the videos.
Others that have done either the F.I. or Stillen setup have said the same. I was surprised at first at the Volume of it, but Tony (F.I.) did advise me first that it will be loud also. Unfortunately with not many in Aus having either it will be hard to hear them in real life. Price wise they are very similar, but the F.I. having a few more options available. Customer service and Build Quality i beilive after reading a lot of the threads here and other forums, i would :tiphat: in favour of F.I..
Lastly and in 2nd place for myself (sound being #1) is the Power Increase. I did get the car Dynoed when i did the exhaust install (u can see basline in my thread). After the exhaust install it did have nice gain, with ATLEAST 10hpatw from 2000rpm. I havnt posted the total figure yet or dyno sheet, as i want o let the ECU "Learn" first. Will be going back on Monday for check up and dyno. There was a 20hpatw+ gain though;). |
