Think twice. HKS has all the power and none of the drone, scraping issues.

I agree. FI Is a quality exhaust, just not as good as HKS IMHO

People ask/talk about FI because it is cheaper and more readily available. HKS does nothave the options like FI, but different strokes for different folks. And for what it's worth, people that have HKS are the ones that looked into both...

This is true. People like what they bought. Most don't make an honest comparison beforehand.

Correct me if im wrong but... you will only gain 1hp from HKS ?
LOL someone told me this before...

FI CBE Carbon Fiber Non Res. after 1 year.... still love it. ITS SOUNDS SO GOD DAMN AMAZING. NO lie NO joke. Smash it going through a tunnel... you will know what i am talking about. FI hands down. I cant express enough lol.

I will correct you. HKS gains the same as FI. And I go through tunnels with my buddies with their FI exhaust and more often than not, mine is determined the best sounding system... from them too.

For those who voted FI. did you really compared it with HKS or its just because have it?

This. People are voting for what they bought.

So guess who is number 925!! Me! Tony did a good job taking the time to walk though options and explain everything to me. Probably spent 20 to 30 min on the phone. As of right now I am going with the full cbe I may add the resonated hfc, just don't know how loud it will all be. If I do add the resonated hfc I will definitely do the FI ones without a doubt after talking with Tony.

Went with stainless 18 inch resonators.

Can't wait!!

I am sure you will be happy with your exhaust. FI is a great system and a lot of people love it. I just don't understand why people have to knock HKS in order to feel good about their FI purchase! Maybe FI versus ARK or CNT would be a fairer comparison...

Define best sounding.

That is very subjective. What may sound good to you and your friends, others may think is too loud or too quite or too something. I am not flaming, just saying that beauty is in the eye of the beholder.

I am sure the guy driving a Honda that sounds like a lawnmower thinks that he has the best sounding exhaust. But we know better......

I have not received my FI, and I hope I did not make a mistake, but since I have not heard it in real life I won't know until it is installed. Personally I was looking for something that is under or at legal sound limit (96 dBA)and yet sounds like a sports car. Not ear shattering, just loud enough to know I am not driving a minivan.
