Ahh nice! I think i know what im going to do. Im going to buy the AAM short tails and also get motordyne art pipes. It will roar like a v8 lol

Nothing looks worse than a single exhaust with dual cutouts in the rear bumper. If you go with the Tomei, please do it right and fill the extra cutout or it will be ricey for sure.

I have an FI and I love it. Sounds great and looks badass from the rear. When I was doing my exhaust research, it came down to FI and ARK. They both sound and look amazing.

A local has the shockwave with ART pipes. It's loud but not obnoxious.

+1 for no single exits on this car. Keep it dual!

I have no experience with the Tomei or Motordyne, but absolutely have to agree that Fast Intentions is awesome. Was skeptical at first, but have to admit it's the highest quality exhaust system I've ever bought.

it boils down to what do your ears get wet to

also the weight of the exhaust ...

to each and their own.. not everybody is building a show car.. for some of the people here, looks is not their first priority nor is sound..

I love my FI Non-Res CBE, sounds great, looks great! I think it all comes down to personal preference. I will say that the videos on YouTube don't really do them justice. If you can find someone that already has it and listen in person, you will have a better idea what you like and don't like. Good luck!

Give me a few more weeks and ill let you hear my car when I put the ark setup on.

Ugh.. I'd rather not Rev it in my hood. It's really loud and I already had problems. I can't promise you, but I'll shoot a video reving it during the weekend.
