I've seen and heard these both first-hand and I LOVE the sound of the HKS system... Sounds 100x better IMO... The finish and craftsmanship of FI products are second-to-none though... And having the luxury of speaking to Tony at Fast Intentions whenever you have any issues (if you ever do, but I haven't heard of not 1 complaint yet) is something you won't get anywhere else IMO... It's a close one, but I think I'd still get the HKS system... Sounds AMAZING in person...

Everything you just said. Sound has to be deeeeeep with no rasp and from the vids ive heard FI takes it. Looks are a must and the tips on the FI are iffy so I give that to HKS. Weight savings are important and I give that to FI. So now im just curious about peoples opinions who have actually seen/heard them and what they think about them.

Ive had both and FastIntentions was hands down the best as far as quality , performance and customer service .In regards to looks either you like the FI exhaust or you dont.. FI new exhaust( round canisters ) which is on the way as I type this will really give HKS a run for its money !!!!!

To me, FI sounds more throaty and HKS is more raspy. I love both of them. What turned me off on the HKS was the Ti Tips, just a personal preference.
