ARK or F.I?

Z370Z011 · 03-20-2013, 06:38 PM

simple quick question you guys!
im looking for an exhaust with the most exotic sound possible, and as loud, or louder than my short tails. Im considering going turbo in the future as well.

based on that, what would you guys say between ARK, and Fast intentions?

red6spd · 03-20-2013, 06:48 PM

If your considering going turbo I would suggest waiting and getting Fast Intentions 3 inch exhaust. But if you cant wait go with the FI hands down. Yea I got one but my Non-Resonated set-up is one of the best I have ever heard, second only to the Miester Schaft or whatever its called to exotic sounding.

initially i was leaning towards F.I, non resonated with resonated test pipes. But i heard some good things about ARK and their exhaust is on a tax refund sale so i thought id ask for some opinions. thanks

Thank you for taking an interest in our products. Our Carbon Fiber muffler non resonated CBE has a very exotic sound to it. The combination of that setup and resonated test pipes will be very smooth and deep.

If you have any questions at all, please do not hesitate to call us directly.

Thank you, Tony

FI all the way...the compliments I get on the looks and sound are insane.

LostSol · 03-20-2013, 07:55 PM

I love my ARK! It's super deep, no drone on the highway, and you don't have to wait 3 months to get one!

JC671 · 03-20-2013, 07:56 PM

F.I. All the way! I own both exhausts. Originally bought the Ark V2 Grip and I can tell you that you can't beat the performance or the sound of FI.

BTW they have the best customer service hands down. Most companies are only nice to you pre-purchase or during the sale but once you get after purchase support they suck or don't reply if you have issues.

FI will help you every step of the way.

add another vote for FI. I've had 4 different exhausts (megan, invidia, mxp and F.I.) on my two 3.7 VQ's and the F.I. is by far the best! Excellent choice!

G37sHKS · 03-21-2013, 10:27 AM

F.I exhaust for sure, but none of the exhaust you mentioned have exotic sound..

research....

One_Quick_Z · 03-21-2013, 10:30 AM

HKS with FI long tubes sounds the best IMO

Bandit_Kaine · 03-21-2013, 08:03 PM

I have the ARK and i love it but i dont think its what youre looking for based on 1) you want loud (the ark is loud but not excessive, maybe if you added ark test pipes as well it would be what you want. 2) you are planning on turbo which means you need bigger exhaust, i would go FI for your situation.
