Question F-Sports Exhaust anyone?

Hey Guys

I am just wondering has any 3GS Owner done the F-Sports exhaust yet? If yes, what is the difference, and how loud it is? I currently have the Tanabe and I am thinking of getting the F-Sports Exhaust but not sure what kind of difference I am going to get. Any respond would be great thanks.

Take care

KY

Its gonna be quieter than the Tanabe, and the tips are smaller. Itll mostly come down to asthetics and sound.

f sports and tanabe are axle back.. piping runs from the rear axle..
catalytic converters > y-pipe > catback and mid > axle back..

I just installed my Tanabe tonight and you can't get much quiter than it. I hope it breaks in more and gets a little more sound to it. If not I might be selling it and getting the F.

I have to say though I think the tips on the tanabe look better then the F.

^^^damn it!!!! I need a little more sound might have to get the HKS.

I think Im going to try a K&N intake first though and see if that gives it some more sound.

Haven't heard tanabes exhaust. Got my fsport exhaust in July and now it has a low growl. A step up from the OEM pipes. K&N Typhoon kit installed two years ago (big plus).
