I can't get behind the FI exhaust. If I'm being honest it sounds terrible. The tips also appear to protrude behind the bumper and rear diffuser. The exhaust note isn't the only factor either; however, it's an important one.

There are several manufacturers who have yet to produce an exhaust for the FL5 so this is a waiting game. If the current exhaust offerings are any indication of what we should expect, it's not looking good. I don't see the value in going from a Eureka vacuum cleaner to a Dyson vacuum cleaner.
What do you think of AWE coming out soon?

dyson are pretty good though LOL :p:p:p

to add to the comment about FI though... uhhh... yeah not my favorite.. from what i've seen and heard they're heavy, and quiet with no real difference in tonality.

What does everyone think of the FI exhaust? This is my first time hearing of this company.
I had a FI exhaust and Remus downpipe on my M2 and it sounded fantastic. I got tons of compliments from people. Not really digging the sound for the FI FL5 system or that the tips stick out so far, especially for something that likely will cost between $3000-4000 depending on tip type.

Waiting for more information like everyone else. @Sara/AWE mentioned more videos will be released this week.
Today is launch day! We are loading up the site with info as we speak, and all the information (pricing, features, and dedicated sound clip video) will be posted on the forums here as well.

Expect the info up this afternoon :thumbsup:

The problem in my country (Spain) is that the exhaust to be installed must have approval and certification from the authorities to be installed.
Four years after buying a new car, it must pass a Technical Inspection, then the inspection is every two years, and after 10 years it is annual.
If the vehicle has a "major reform" (like the exhaust), it must be approved. In addition, maximum sound checks will soon be carried out in those inspections.
Do you know if any of the exhausts for the FL5 that are offered in the USA have approval in the European Union?
I remember that for my S2000 Invidia it did.

So... Has there been an exhaust that isn't Millitek that allows me to control a valve for noise?

I haven't seen another exhaust with valve control functionality like Milltek.

J's just went into development so i'm looking forward to that.. if I know J's from the s2000 days... they make some crazy sounding exhaust
Waiting for J's exhaust to drop myself. Shouldn't be too far off from FK8 70RS exhaust.
We can get a taste of it here, I have time stamped the YT link.
