ark catback + fi hfcs/ intro
hey guys, I've been on the forum since late 2010 and have posted here and there but never really introduced myself. I'm sammy and she's an 09 white awd sedan. The car's going to be a family car in a couple months when I go to college, so mods have been pretty reserved. Started off with R2C for intake, then ARK for exhaust and eventually Fast Intentions for hfcs. went with hotchkis for sways, definitely a great investment, upgraded to slotted rotors when it was time and after a bent rim switched over to the 2010 sedan wheels.
For the exhaust setup, went with ARK for catback. options were limited with awd plus ark sounds pretty good. Lived with that for about 4 months, let everything break in and settle. Loudness was fine but was looking for a little more in terms of tone. Decided to go for FI resonated HFCs with 2.25" piping instead of the standard 2.5" just to keep noise, and possibility of rasp and drone down. Worked out well so far, still have to get everything tuned though so i'm not sure what kind of numbers its putting down. Feels like there's a little more mid range power but that's propbably just the butt dyno.
the videos here are when the cats just went it, after everything broke in (ill take a video when i get the chance and throw it up) the setup got a little quieter, probably should have gone with 2.5", but gotta keep mom happy. Let me know what you guys think, definitely would like some feedback. videos were taken with an iphone, so probably not the best quality.
here's ark's website with just their exhaust, no cats.

p.s. tony from Fast Intentions was great with helping to figure out what the best option would be to help keep noise, and more importantly rasp and drone down. good man to talk to even if youre not gonna go with their exhaust.

why dont you just call fast intentions directly? im not sure why you are going through a vendor if FI sells direct. they are likely taking 10-15% on top of whatever they are paying fast intentions

THIS^^^^^^^^^ Is absolutely INCORRECT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! PLEASE DO YOUR RESEARCH before posting things like this!!!!!!!!!!!
We offer special pricing, and are able to offer even LOWER PRICING AND FASTER SHIP TIME then Tony does directly because we organize group buys. I have a great relationship with Tony. I try and do all the leg work, take the orders, answer all ?'s, ....he takes the purchase orders I give him and sends them through. Yes, you are allowed to call Tony directly, but you are NOT able to get on the "special group buy" through him.
WE also are able to offer HALF the wait time for orders. ALL of our orders are put to the front of the ques. (cats/tps standard is 4 weeks, we offer 2-3 weeks, catbacks standard are 14-17 weeks, WE are 5-7 weeks!!!)
WE have started our 2nd group buy, already have 3 on board. Let me know if you'd liek to order guys.
