Fastintentions ... I had Motordyne and though it sounds great it has fitment issues and hangs low .. FI fits like OEM and sounds awesome ..

Weight: Fast Intentions is 5-10 lbs lighter
Power: They make around the same. Motordyne's has the option to expand to full 3" later for TT kits. I believe F.I. has a 3" version too.
Price: Fast Intentions is cheaper, but it has a longer wait.
Sound: Motordyne's helmholtz resonators reduce drone by a lot. F.I. has the hiss on deceleration. F.I. has more options though: CF mufflers, unresonated, 12" and 18" resonators. Motordyne has the options with the XYZ pipe of HFC, resonated, or unresonated. For tone, you should just look at Youtube vids to see which you prefer.

When you said 500+, were you referring to the number of units sold?

Hp wise, they all about the same. FI might give you few more ponies.

Sound wise, it's subjective. MD sounds amazing at WOT. FI sounds deeper but has drone. I like MD sounds better. It screams.

Look wise, it's subjective too. I like how FI hanging low on the z. But MD has the options on burnt tips(rolled/unrolled) and stainless tips.

Both are awesome exhaust systems. But I personally would go with MD. Just can't resist the beautiful sound.

Personally I too am going to go with the fast intentions. The non resonated sounds amazing and Im sure will sound even more amazing with ART pipes!!

Fast Intentions sold more units than the others combined. Not that it should be a reason to purchase, but it does show that people like the product and/or the customer service. Personally, I feel that it is the best out therr, but you don't have to take my word for it.
