i have the grip cbe
1. drone under 40mph
2 sounds great deep and agressive
3. fitment isn't perfect it sticks out a little and down from the bumper it doesn't look bad your installer has to mess around with it to line it up

You pretty much decided in your OP due to lack of patience! ;) If you can wait, Fast Intentions all the way IMO

Can't go wrong with either. The Grip has this wail when you rev it that is just incredibly intoxicating and why I chose mine. I also love that mine sounds virtually stock on the highway.

GRIP ON A DYNO :tup:

No doubt FI is a great product, and worth its wait, however Ark Grip is no slouch either.

The differences (at least the ones that non-mechanical people will notice), is the Ark has more of an Aggressive look (I love the dual cans peeking below the bumper)..however FI has nicer tips.

The sound... I posted a vid..and that is just the grip with stock cats/headers...and it sounds beautiful... very deep rumble.. very very very little drone at street speeds (nothing a few clicks of the radio wouldn't drown out)... when you gas it.. Everyone knows... and at Highway cruising..she runs silent unless you gas the hell out of it.

I might replace the Cats next (no emission here in FL) ..but need to find out the difference between resonated test pipes and HFC's ..unless they are the same thing.. I don't know... but I cant imagine the sound being much better than it already is.

If your z is a daily driver AND you have plans to lower it, don't buy either. Both system will sit very low, you're going to have clearance issues going over bumps, dips, and steep entrances. Staying at stock height you will not have any problems, either system will sound nice.

Don't lower it if you are on 18" wheels. Stock height w 18s is bout as low as you can go. Get a bigger wheel, then you have some wiggle room

that's another thing that was brought up, i like the stock height of the nismo but i might get some swifts in the future to get it a bit lower..
I'm this close to pulling the trigger on the GRiP, i really don't wanna wait for 3 months once i make a decision to get an exhaust, which kinda sucks because FI seems to have a great fan base and people swearing by their product

Get the Grip!! I think you'll love the sound, I know I do!

I'm pulling my Z out of storage this weekend and am planning to install the swifts shortly thereafter and will report back.

Three months will pass by fast! I've waited 1 month and 3 weeks, mine should be shipped out next Friday...I hope lol. But you should just order the FI, think about other mods for a while...next thing you know...BAM! there's a big box in front of your front door. Just saying the wait isn't that bad, but people with Ark Grip loves their CBE, so it's really Win - Win whatever you choose, Good Luck!

You will be very happy with the ark. Worst case you cut a little off the hanger, tho I doubt you will have too if you lower it

Installed my Ark Grip V2 this past weekend. LOVE the sound and LOVE the look. :yum: Although, it did take me 3 attempts to get the tips and canisters lined up and symmetrical. All I had was Rhino Ramps on the rear wheels, so no much room to work with. VERY happy with the results! :driving:
