I just really started to look into exhausts, its pretty clear the FI exhuast is what rules around here. but i have never heard it or even have a Z ATM. BUT the way they try to cancel out drone is simply not the best way to deal with it. the ARK system looks to be a better design using the Helmholtz resonator.

still a noob around here, but not to cars and exhausts.

It's not always a question of whether drone is bad. In my opinion, some drone is good because it lets you feel the sound and it a bit more visceral. That's why I love my HFCs and 12" resonated FI. If it lost those low frequency tones, I don't think it would be as popular as it is.

That said, some people are much more sensitive to drone than I am so that's just my thoughts.
