Exhaust Exhaust Exhaust - Which one?

Fast Intentions is very nice, but he wants a more 'tame' version of exhaust. Hence the HKS HI-Power with the resonation chambers to kill drone....

Im very happy with Fast Intentions as are many other customers, however given your preferences I think I would recommend Stillen. I was quite impressed with how it sounds and as others have said it even looks almost stock (just make sure your tips align nicely). It also has proven gains among the top exhausts.

Drone is subjective...

I have the LTH's and 18" Res and I have no 'drone'?? At least, not that I notice at least?

If he wanted a tame exhaust, and if he liked the looks of F.I.'s then all he could do is just the F.I. CBE with 18" Res and SS cans and he'd have a good balance of performance increase, with the tame tone.

It's once you increase the flows in the Cats/headers... thats where the volume starts to increase.

But the HKS does look very good. I wish they had a version that didn't have the blue'd tips... Then they'd have my attention.

I don't disagree with you on the FI in regards to performance, but it is definitely more aggressive side by side comparison with the HKS. I know what you mean about the blue tips too... it was the only part holding me back at first. I have gotten used to them I suppose!
