I've actually had both on my car, I might be one of the only ones, and I'm fully in the FI camp on this question. I still haven't been to the dyno since switching to F.I., but given others' results I'm not too worried about that side of it (not to mention the obviously smoother flow of the design).

Quite simply, IMHO, it's built better, it fits better, it installs easier, it sounds better, it seems to perform at least as good if not better, it's lighter, and the cost difference is negligible.

Actually what's funny is how many people are on the FI bandwagon over here. Not many of us are strongly recommending the Stillen, but my experience with the Stillen CBE has been nothing short of excellent. Someone from Stillen even called a couple weeks after my purchase to make sure I was satisfied.

Given that the FI thread has thousands of posts in it, I'd say the hype is in the FI bandwagon. Regardless of popularity or support, both exhausts are excellent options. They have different sounds, similar gains, similar prices and both install easily now (the new Stillen exhausts go on in 20 minutes without any special maneuvers). The FI requires cutting the heat shield which is more laborious than the Stillen install. The Stillen won't drone even with HFCs and the FI will drone even without HFCs.

Seems like there is plenty of info for the OP to make a decision now.
