I am soon looking into getting a exhaust, I was thinking top speed y back and hfc's or a full ark catback paired with art pipes, heard plenty of ark videos and they are great sounding exhaust for our cars, motordyne is truly the best and meistechaft but pricey, ark is about 1300 from a vendor

This past weekend i just installed fast-intentions high flow cats and complete cat-back with 18" resonators.
It surprisingly sounds completely stock when steadily cruising at 60, 70 & 80 mph. No cabin drone at all. Absolutely 0 rasp throughout the rev range.
Cold start it sounds deep. Once it warms up its pretty tame. A little louder than factory but it doesn't sound like a ****ty 4 banger idling loud. It's very subtle.
Wide open throttle in town and on the highway makes me
that's when it makes some noise
I first wanted the Top Speed Pro1 Y-Back, but i didn't like how it was only a y-back and not a cat-back. You would have to buy a Y-pipe or reuse factory and i didn't want that.
Than i had my eyes set on Z1 High flow cats + Invidia Q300 exhaust. Price for the hfc was cheap at $388. The Invidia Q300 is a nice exhaust with a X-pipe crossover for about $875.
But i luckily managed to get a awesome deal on a pair of FI HFC + FI Cat-back 18" resonators that i couldn't pass up.
I always wanted the FI exhaust setup but didn't like having to wait 3 months for build time and it is crazy expensive. $1500 for the exhaust $500 for the high flow cats. I picked mine up used and got it within a week lol. Saved like $600 too

I checked out fast intentions, I think I'll stick to that. Saving up starting now. Also if I needed to for any given reason, after installing FI exhaust, could I switch it back to stock? If not it's ok, just wondering. Thanks btw for the suggestions and advice, I really appreciate it.

There's an offer right now for the Chase Freedom card. 0% APR for the first 15 months and $150 cash-back if you spend $500 in the first 3 months of opening your account. I used that offer to get my TopSpeed Pro exhaust and OEM decklid spoiler for a little over $500. I never carry a balance though, just pay everything off at the end of the month. You never want to put yourself in debt just for car parts.
