Under load it is one of the cleanest exhaust sounds that I've heard. And no, a little drone isn't the end of the world, but if I'm just cruising on the highway and would rather hear the radio, my wife, someone one the phone, etc. rather than the exhaust, the ARK fits the bill.

I'm sure you would be completely happy buying either exhaust, it ultimately just depends on which one you end up pulling the trigger on. Both are great, the FI w/ 18" resonators was my second choice.
I would rather hear my exhaust over my wife...and she knows it

As far as which exhaust to go with, to each their own. FI offers/offered free installation and for those located somewhat close to them it was a no brainer. As far as Ark, they are located on the East coast, Jersey area I believe. I personally will eventually have the FI CBE installed, might use it as an excuse to drive to Cali and put some miles on my car.

Then you don't need an exhaust at all! Remove the headers too!

If you think it good in the videos it sounds 10x better in real life
