Default Stillen Exhaust Setup Vs Fast Intentions Setup

Hello,

Currently deciding between FI and Stillen... I'm basically weighing two options

1. Overall HP Gain
2. Overall Loudness

I'm fairly young, looking for loudest setup possible.. I would do
1.Non Res TP + Non Res FI + ???Maybe Muffler Delete???? So a straight pipe ALL the way through...

or....

2. Non Res TP + Non Res Stillen CBE + Muffler Delete... Which one would be loudest?

How much loud is it compared to just Non Res TP + CBEof choice?

What are the gains like? I heard stillen exhaust is about 40 pounds heavier... thanks for answering. Couldn't find the direct answer

The Stillen is going to be quieter than the Fast Intentions.

Fast Intentions is lighter, louder (which you want) (get it without resonators), makes more power, I would say better build quality (but thats not entirely fair as the Stillen exhaust is not a bad exhaust per say) and on top of all that its cheaper. Really the only downside is the wait. However its worth it in the end.

A straight pipe all the way back would not be ideal from a power stand point, at least not for the street. Sure you would end up with noise, but it would not be good noise. I wanted loud too, I'm pretty happy with my Berk HFC and Fast Intentions non resonated exhaust.

To add to the above list: different tips and tip length.

It's like comparing a Men's Wearhouse suit to Hugo Boss.
Men's Wearhouse being Stillen.

Loudest setup possible? tomei test pipes into tome catback. Then when you realize you made a mistake like I did, get the ART pipes w/ fast intentions and enjoy
