I'm actually waiting on the fed ex guy as week speak to bring my R-Spec HFC's and the car awaits me at home on jack stands for some friday night fun after work. No knocking FI either though. I think they both sound great... FI is louder and I personally feel like the GRIP retains the VQ note very well so famously heard from the 350's just with a mean aggressive twist on it. I seriously couldn't be any happier with the ARK for my personal taste. I think thats what it comes down to though... do you want your car to be loud or to retain a more mild sounding exhaust that you could take a road trip and actually be comfortable with the sound. Hope that helps in your decision.
