I've heard that they're basically the same thing except for the cf ti. I'm actually pretty sure they are.

The two exhausts are completely the same except for the material on the muffler: one's a carbon fiber-wrapped steel canister with a titanium tip, the other's a stainless steel tip and muffler.
Performance of the two is EXACTLY the same. The $200 is basically just for aesthetics on the CF Ti

^what he said. But if u are going to get either one, I'd go with the cheaper hi power version. But if you want teh more bling factor go with the cf/ti version.

I'm the opposite. I think the carbon fiber one looks much better. The non cf one looks sort of lame and is a beacon at night because it is like having a mirror on the back of your car. I just can't justify spending the extra money for the carbon fiber, however.

I agree with you, but I felt like spending the extra money was worth it!!

Carbon Ti for a show car, Hipower if you just want the performance. Depends on how much whoa factor you want.

nah once it gets dirt on it, it doesn't shine much.
