Torn between two exhausts...

Hi , I have long been wanting a new exhaust for my g. I have finally narrowed it down to just 2 exhausts. Fast Intentions Carbon Fiber and Tanabe Medalion. All I have read is good things about both. Soundwise I am looking for louder then stock but not to loud or raspy. Price is not an issue right now. Also which do you think I would get a larger hp gain with I know its not gonna be a lot but I'm just wondering. At the time I get it my car will be stock except for Injen SRI intake and BBGK. Thanks for the help !

I recently purchased the Tanabe but Fast Intentions would definitely have been on my list if I was prepared to do a full catback. Either one is a good choice, but likely will see more performance gains with the Fast Intentions.

Have you looked at Mackin exhaust . that's my choice overall!!! I was in you're same situation 1 month ago I heard Fast intentions in person and it's very deep but not very throaty or high pitched

Get the MXP, if not, then Tanabe.

The FI will look better, sound better, and make more power. Finish it off with the Ti Tips and you will not be disappointed. The fitment and welds on this system are stunning. Took like 45 minutes to Install with no issues.

^ wow! that looks fantastic. FI will definitely be more free flowing as its a catback rather than the Tanabe's axleback..that alone should sway your decision.

Beauty apparently is in the eye of the beholder, I prefer dual lined tips myself without looks cheap to my tastes. Also don't these hang lower then the Tanabe's, I remember seeing a shot of crushed carbon cans not too long ago.
