ok so ive been doing research and i think i might go with the fsport exhaust and intake....only because i dont want to void the warranty on my car. Does anyone know if the intake is really worth it and if a dealership will match the sewell discount price? Thanks

No exhaust or intake can ever void your cars warranty. The only warranty that is voided, is the warranty on your exhaust/intake. Thats it. For example, if your nav screen dies it is still covered (assumed you still have your warranty) and cannot be blamed on the exhaust/intake.

As for price matching, you will have to ask your dealer. Some will and some wont. If your dealer does in fact price match make sure you install it yourself. Its very simple.

I also noticed that MagnaFlow has a cat-back system. Does anyone have any experience with this exhaust system?

Does HKS remove the two secondary cats? I'm still a little confused as to where the cat-back exhaust starts.

^ the HKS hi-power is an axle-back system. it has nothing to do with the two secondary cats.

for the 2is, an axle-back system replaces everything aft of the rear axles, and a cat-back system replaces everything aft of the primary cats.

Thanks! I was under the impression that the HKS was made in axle back and cat back because I've seen them named as such.

Much like many 2IS ads incorrectly list the car as "fully loaded" many 2IS exhaust ads list the item as a cat-back when it's really an axle-back.
