ARK Exhaust vs. Fast Intentions

bullet1

I have the ARK exhaust and love it. While I love performance, sound/drone/rasp, were the major contributing factors when I was choosing my exhaust. Do I really care if I get 12HP over 9HP if the exhaust drones like mad on the highway and I can't stand driving it? The ARK has no drone on the highway and sounds great with no rasp at all (with stock cats), which is exactly what I wanted. Fit and finish on the ARK was excellent and there are a few vendors here on the site that will give you a very good price on it.

I don't yet have the exhaust, mines still on order, but that was a big thing for me. The performance MAY be lacking in the exhaust but than again almost every exhaust has shown the same gains within +-5 HP between different dynos and different conditions, which is what? A 2% difference in WHP? Personally I can't feel a 2% gain or loss(just like I couldnt really feel when I added i/e and tune to my bike) so sound and looks are dbig factors to me.

Course like others have said, almost no one has tried more than one exhaust so its going to be VERY difficult getting an unbiased opinion on this.
