Stupid exhausts? I think they sound great, are well made, and offer great performance gains.

If you can live with the drone more power to you. If not, that's why we have options.

I'd call any hype'd exhaust stupid, as it's nothing more than an exhaust .

If you look back to the original posts, the FI exhaust initially had a cult following, claiming and arguing that there is no drone, they're not too loud, and they never bottom out. As time has told, all three of those things have been issues for various owners.

I do like having options though. And if I didn't daily drive my car, maybe I'd have the FI exhaust.

I know I got railed on a bit when I first reported drone.

Though my 18" resonators were never too loud outside the car and I never had bottoming issues (stock height).
