Lightbulb Fast Intentions VS ARK Performance Exhaust ??!!??

OK, I want to have a really good argument thread about Fast Intentions Exhaust VS Ark Performance Exhaust. I own a CF Fast Intentions Exhaust now and was thinking about getting a Ark performance Exhaust whenever I get my next G. What are the REAL differences between exhaust other than 500-600 $ price markup. **PLEASE LIST ONLY PROVEN AND REALISTIC DIFFERENCES!! **

From what I ve seen and heard it seems like they are neck and neck i know the FI has carbon canisters, but other than that what else is different about them??

Fast intension got balanced mufflers while ARK got one muffler higher than the other.

other than that, its just an exhaust no big deal about it.

the horsepower promises look about the same knowing how companies lie cut that in half... im debating if i should keep fast intentions or go with a brand new ark... i like the ark tips more and mufflers look more aggressive

not sure about sound wise

They're both good systems. Can't go wrong with either one.

I have the fi but I dunno anyone that has Ark though so there's no way to hear it and YouTube didn't do justice
