Akrapovic vs. Fi-Exhaust F8x X5M/X6M

Hi ///M Fans,
I know have many thread about proper exhaust system, have a lot of brands EU/USA/another options too but want proper advice from people who have exactly these systems on their SUV's.
Want your opinions about full exhaust system Akrapovic (titanium) + another brand catless downpipes vs. stainless steel Fi Exhaust exhaust system + catless downpipes.
These 2 brands is most popular in Europe especially Akrapovic (made in EU) but read great reviews for Fi Exhaust too.
My personal opinion is Fi is more agressive like Akrapovic for same specs with catless downpipes.
I want we make a helpful discussion for all positive or negative sides NOT need we compare the prices for both systems just tech specs please

Want to discuss and couple options about downpipes-catless,100/200 cell options too

Thank you in advance!

If you want to go catless I will recommend RK Autowerks. Very good built quality
For exhaust definitely Fi. Akra seems overrated to be honest. If you go catless you need an exhaust with a muffler and valves and X-Pipe is a MUST. If passing inspection is an issue go with high flow cats

Thanks!
Yes, for the moment inspection it is not problem and prefer catless downpipes.
About quality and final result is need to choose proper product.
RK is little hard to import to BG but this is not possible
They are pretty much same like Fi catless downpipes.
In my opinion is Fi is more agressive like Ak,BUT not sure on real life witch sound better-stainless steel or titanium...i need this is important for me and another users when you choose to spend some money for proper sound and performance
