Hks Or Fast intentions Carbon Fiber exhaust?

Cant decide between HKS or FI. I like the price, sound, and weight savings of FI, but I like the look of HKS. Which would you go with between the two? Feel free and state your oppinions.

Neither, both overpriced for dumb reasons. Carbon fiber mufflers, hmmmm....how good would this sound " GUYS COME CHECK OUT MY MUFFLERS!!! U JUST GOTTA LIE DOWN ON THE GROUND!!"...Stupid concept to make something carbon fiber, that you never see. And HKS apparently doesnt want customers paying for product anymore. they want the customers paying for product and brand name. Im sure HKS is quality, but 2400MSRP...Id find a better place to put all that money...How about a Borla/Regular Fast Intentions/Stillen. Then with the leftover cash buy some high flow cats.

EDIT: Fast Intentions makes a GREAT product! This is no rant on them, not purchasing there polished system is one mistake I made. But carbon fiber mufflers is a waste of money, IMHO.

Terrible you have a GT-R. Believe me if I was in your position I'd have my toe nails carbon fiber along with my catalytic converters, just to say that I do. Wonderboy I just cant see myself forking out an extra 400 for carbon fiber mufflers, or understand why anybody else would. The polished FI system is good enough.

It makes great sound at WOT. But even then it isn't loud enough for me. It is really a great exhaust, but not for me. The fitment is GREAT, slash tips are a beauty to look at. I just need more VOLUME! I'd like to consider myself young, and the stillen exhaust is for a middle aged man who owns a strip club or someone who wants people to know they are not stock, but not obnoxious or annoying about it. I'd like to be obnoxious and annoying about the fact that I am not stock.
