Default Fast intentions intimidator or HKS hi-power ti

They are both true dual, both come with burnt ti tips, both go for the same price. I am torn between the two, I like the way the HKS looks but I love the way the FI sounds. I cant make up my mind! HELP!

Spend 2 hours of labor ($160) at Function:Tuned to fix the JIC single and keep the rest of the cash for FI?

+1 if you like singles (but Ethan read his OP I am pretty sure he is after true dual) I personally say go for the FI exhaust

What makes the HKS look better? You say they both come with Ti tips, right?

Well I think with Fi you still get that signautre Z tone to your exhaust, while with an HKS the tone changes. Im running an HKS with non resonated test pipes and I love the sound. Fi is really nice too. Tough choice
