see my first post.

Technically the tips are about the same size as the other exhausts and it sits up underneath the car a lot more than the FI exhaust so "cops" will see less of the exhaust. Not to mention the extra resonators make it one of the quietest exhausts to get but is nice and deep and throaty when pushed over 4k RPMs. It's an amazing exaust but ultimately it's your decision. I'm just giving you the hard facts that you may be over looking.

My 2nd choice would be a GTM or Greddy exhaust as a tie.

My 3rd choice would be FI. Great sounding and performing exhaust but it sits too low for some people and the waiting times to get this to your house are ridiculous in my opinion.

Do you have HFC or Test pipes with your HKS exhaust?? if so how is the rasp/drone?

There's no rasp or drone right now with stock cats and Stillen G3 and no VQ hiss either. I'm sure swapping out the cats will give some hiss though. I'm awaiting Motordyne ART pipes right now and supposedly there's no drone or rasp either. The only regret is that the tips are too easy for somebody to steal. Two tiny hex screws on each tip. I'll probably make the tips permanent with a torch.

Wow, this thread looks to be as popular as the dreaded oil thread. Great info and opinions.

Ark dts all the way bro. 99% of the forum have FI because its the popular kid choice, but ive heard them side by side and they are both fantastic but the ark wins. Its not ******* loud, doesnt drone like the fi at 70mph and has a deeper tone. Neither rasp unless u use hfc or downpipes, then they both do. And the ark makes a much cooler decel sound imo. Much like the jag f type just not as loud. Also the ark is tucked up HIGHER than stock, and looks very stealth. So if your not the show boat type "1%" its perfect.

That percentage is grossly incorrect, as 99% of the forum will be in excess of 124,000 people, and FI to date has shipped under 1000 units.

Also, it's popular because it's the best exhaust offered for this car.

I'm not sure what your issue is with F.I. but this 99% chose them after listening to many sound clips, looking at the build quality, and experiencing first hand the exceptional customer service they give.

The only knock I would put on FI is the wait, but that's really a function of demand.

forza370z · 10-16-2013, 11:50 AM

While I agree FI is ONE OF the best exhaust on our car, people can have their own opinions and choices. Chii370 just state he likes Ark better in his opinion. And OP went with Invidia. I love my HKS. Nothing is wrong with that. There ARE many nice systems out there to choose.

CrownR426 · 04-09-2011, 02:20 PM

hey crown... thanks for response. My Z is a 3rd car, so definitely not dd. What do you mean by "but when you womp on it you coast"??? Meaning coasting sounds better than womping on it?
