Go hear one in person and you'll see. Also has top gains of exhausts on the market for half the price of others.

I have heard /seen both in person and the motordyne is a good exhaust, but it just sounds very flat/loud and doesn't compare to the fi one. that's why I went with fi, it has a very beautiful exhaust note that unique.

Can someone convince me with a video of thiers that the FI is turely the best? I would most likely get the non resonated one and upgrade my Hpipe to a new hpipe.

HKS, Motordyne or Fast Intention.

If you have $$, GThaus or Amuse.

There you go...

FI CBE with HFC

FI CBE with TT

Two More...

Enough? If not, I can find you more.

But be quite honest, I love the HKS Hi-Power as much as the Fast Intentions if not more. You should go to some local meets and hear them for yourself. Videos don't really judge, it only gives you a ballpark. HKS sounds truely exotic and I love the blue burnt Ti tips too...

Borla is relatively quiet and less aggressive compare to others if that is what you looking for. But I read Borla is more for American applications not really good on imports...

The Fast intention & GTHAUS (Meisterschaft) are top quality exhaust & the craftsmanship is top notch. I have heard of Amuse, but do not know much about them. I will say that GTHAUS (Meisterschaft) & Amuse will definitely cost you a pretty penny. At the end of the day it is all about two things..... How much do you want to spend & what kind of sound are you looking for?

Thank you Forza and Maclean! Money is not a problem when it comes to exhaust. I want only the best for my car. I will most likely go with meisterschaft. What about the Akrapovic slip on rear muffler. Anyone tried this with a y pipe or h pipe?

O GOD! The Fast Intentions sounds so nice!! It sounds very clean and exotic when it gets up in revs. I wonder if Tony at FI will sell me just the rear mufflers to bolt up to my Nismo midpipe and upgraded H pipe.

For me, I need 3 things, burnt tips, loud and nice sounding.

e370 or Greddy for me.

I don't think the e370 is even that loud?
