Fast intention exhaust or ark grip/dt-s?

reynald3616 · 01-31-2014, 06:59 PM

I'm trying to decide between this exhaust can you please help me?..

Looking for deep and loud sound with high gains on HP

I already have the Motordyne Art Pipes so which is the best exhaust?

I have the Ark DT-S. The sound is quite deep and sounds great when you step on it. However.. its not that loud. I've heard the FI exhaust in person and i believe its a bit louder than the DT-S depending on what size resonators.
The DT-S has almost no or minimal drone on the highway.

I wasnt a fan of how the canisters on the trunk.. but the looks grew on me, i personally like the look better over the FI canisters now.

Hope this helps!

Since you have ART's, you should research what exhausts sound good w/ them.

FI w/ ART

Both are great exhaust. I had the pleasure of listening to both in person. I ended up choosing FI over ark only the fact that I have options to choose from. Can't go wrong with either.

They're both great exhaust and the quality of both are top notch. If you can spring for the 18 inch resonators for FI and wait 6-9 weeks then go for it. If you want it now and still get a really great exhaust then get the dts. I'm trying not to be biased but I really love the exhaust, it's deep w/ no rasp or hiss at all. It was exactly what I wanted. Not too loud either but nice

Both are great. I chose the ARK Grip over the FI w/18" resonators due to sound preference, but I'm also running stock cats.

I'd attend a few Z meets and see what other owners are running so you can hear it in person.

If time is not an issue I say F.I!
