What is the difference in Sound Between FI CBE & ARK?
I heard the Fast Intentions CBE on their website and it sounded mean.
The ARK sounds great too. To my EARS, just frm watching videos, the ARK seems to be a deeper basier sound, and the Fast Intentions sounds a little more aggressive.
Anyone HEARD both? What is the difference is sound, also VOLYME? Which is louder? Just the Cat Back Exhaust by itself, not taking adding any HFC's into the equation.
I loved the sound of the MotorDyne Shockwave Exhaust that Black Bettey and others recently got on a GP on this forum, that's MY kind of sound, however, Motordyne doesn't offer the Shiockwave for Sedans, just Coupes.
This is for a 2009 G37 Sedan (RWD & 7 Speed Auto Transmission).
I am getting the Fast Intentions High Flows Cats (Have to decide between resonated and non-resonated). ARK, DOES NOT make HFC's for a Sedan with an Automatic Transmission, ONLY offers HFC's for Coupes witha Manual Transmission.
So, it looks like I migth end up with an ARK Grip Exhaust and FI RHFC's.

Will Ark i believe to have a bigger diameter which will give you more power then Fast Intention. I have FI and my friend has Ark and i love the sound of Ark. I love both exhaust but Ark is just a little bit better. If you want to put more power down get the Berks HFC or TP.

Fast Intentions is 2.5 Inch True Dual. I believe ARK is the same! Fitment wise i was very very dissapointed on ARK and even on my good friend Johnathans car he agrees there is just no comparison. Sound FI is deeper/throatier period. Fitment couldnt be more on point! I am a big fan of FI and would never rock anything else, Just my honest opinion. Motordyne is a great option as well but loud! Honestly with my RHFC from FI and my FI CBE Vs Motordyne with NO HFC, MD was louder. Personally MD and FI are my top 2 fav! But thats just me.

If you truly want your questions about performance answered, head over to the370z.com. There are MANY dynos/comparisons and proven results.
Also, ask yourself about how much R&D went into our platform from each company.
Sound? Fast Intentions gives you options to perfect the sound to your preference(resonator sizes, canister materials & shape).
Last but not least, one of the two is a complete knock off.
I rest my case....

I want the best and loudest sound. I love the Motordyne (just from the videos), that's my kind of sound, BUT, not an option! I have sedan.
I KNOW FI is a great company and so is ARK. I have ARKs ordered but they have 3 weeks to get here. I COULD still change
my mind and get FI's but only would do that of they are going to sound better and louder than the ARKs. If the ARKs are I dnsounding and loud enough, Im good.
The HFC's are the big choice. I would get TP's,?but they will stink and
this car is my work car and my "nice" car.
Why get the RHFC's if they barely increase the volume? Do they add that much HP? I sk see if I'd be just as happy tk JUST get the CBE. H itself and no HFC'S or RHFC'S???
I WANT HFC's / RHFC's, but want the. Tk increase power and make my CBE Louder and More aggressive sounding!
Decisions, decisions.

It's all personal taste. FI , ARK, MD have similarities in sound but different nuances. It sounds like you want the increased volume so I would get HFC over RHFC. You already ordered the ARK now just pair it with standard HFC once you install the CBE and are not satisfied with the sound.
