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

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.

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.
