Default greddy se vs f-sport exhaust.. Is it f-sport worth it?

Hello there, I know this topic has been beaten up over and over, but I would like to know if there is a huge justification of getting a f-sport exhaust over the greddy se?

I mean the greddy is almost half the price of an f-sport, and in terms of looks, its a matter of preference. But performance wise, it'll be the same am i correct?

So for those who got the f-sport over greddy or tanabe, what was your reasoning behind it? Was the price difference worth it over greddy or tanabe? Please chime in. Thanks guys!

If you're not in any rush I hear there is another good company coming out with a very nice exhaust you could always check out as well.

All the axle-backs produce the same (roughly) 7 hp.

Sound, and I guess look of the tips, are the primary differences that might cause someone to spend 2x as much (or more) on one over another.

actually any exhaust, doesnt add/produce power, it just frees up power that was already there, also with any axle/catback type exhaust you still have the bottlenecks so... its really just a 'sound' preference.

I have a Greedy SP2 exhaust cuz REV-01 told me to buy it so i did, that was good enough reason for me

Mind sharing this "secret" company?

I'd go with F-Sport if I had the extra $$$. Greddy SE is a great choice. I'm having the same questions as well. Trying to decide between the two. Leaning towards Greddy at the moment.

Get Greddy if you dont want to spend that much money, if money isnt a problem get the F Sport.

but why? what does the fsport have that the greedy dont? you gonna pay more just for a different sound? cuz its... FSport *cough*hks*cough*??? just cuz somethings cost more doesnt mean their better ... imo it just means your a fool with your money...

NOW if you like the sound of the FSport, by all means get it. Just dont get it for the 'money isnt a problem' reason.

I like the look and the sound of the F-Sport, and "money isnt a problem" to get the F-Sport exhaust.

I once was in a dilemma on which exhaust to get. Luckily i go to school were everyone and there mom drives an is and was able to hear and see in person which exhaust i personally like. I highly recommend that u do so if you have the chance. I went with the F-sport bc it didnt have that blue tip, f-sport sounded nicer, and also i really just wanted to stick with a factory product. If your lucky you can get a used one for like 650 like i did. Check ebay i usually find people on there selling theirs bc there female companions hate the sound.
