Yeah, fist-shaking is a solid sign of disapproval. Haha, wow.

RMB5190, I don't think there's a single member here who isn't satisfied with their FI exhaust. Top-shelf quality, and a wonderfully rewarding exhaust note.

 

FI was probably the first system in this thread I heard that made me say "that one" out loud. Then I heard the Motordyne shortly after and was all about that one. It's going to go back and forth like that until I pull the trigger on one. This week has been Motordyne. Last month was all FI.

Going to come down to eenie meenie miney mo decision.

 

Same for me for a couple of years, but in reverse, and ARK instead of Motordyne... although I think they sound the same, because they both use Helmholtz resonators. Back and forth I went between ARK and FI. In the end, the FI fitment and the simply gorgeous FI tips (and cans) were what made up my mind, more so than the sound.

 

Not making it easier Rochester...lol

It is gorgeous though. I really like the deep tone FI provides but the F1 pitch of Motordyne is appealing. The FI rolled tips is very clean where the MD system has attitude with the way the mufflers are positioned.

Stumbled across you're Youtube channel (I think) while listening to clips, is it really that much of a difference inside with the noise? You can hear the MD system scream with the inside videos I've heard. Wondering if the FI system is that much quieter even with HFCs.

 

I don't have any interior videos with the full FI exhaust. Truth be told, I've only a few dozen videos on my channel, some cars, some the kids. Mostly cars...

The look of the MD and ARK are in-your-face, like jewelry on a thug. The look of the FI exhaust is upscale, but still means business.

So many metaphores, LOL.

 

I don't know about that specific one, but i know there's one for the G37X sedan..although it's still not on their website.

 

I'm not assuming anything. The basis for me saying that was coming from a standpoint of the neighbors already being offended by it. I appreciate the perceptiveness though good sir.

 

The FI exhaust sounds weak in comparison. It doesn't have that scream and good raspy sound of the Motordyne, at least from the vids ive seen. The ARK doesn't scream like that either. I'm sure I would be smiling from ear to ear with either one installed on my car but there seem to be significant differences in sound between the three. As for the jewelry on a thug metaphor, cmon, thats a bit of a stretch lol. The rest of my car is understated and the exhaust doesn't dangle from the windshield, its tucked up undernieth the car with only the tips sticking out.

 

I think it's more or less two different tones rather than one screams and one doesn't. The FI is a more collected deep rumble while the Motordyne is a screaming Banshee. Roch's assessment was dead on lol


Who are we kidding LOL

 

Man, that ^^^ sounds awesome! Friggin' rips!

 

Hey, that's me! The car sounds a little different with headers that I have now installed. I also have an exhaust leak in that video.

 

That's pretty cool, MaQG37. Makes me want to do a WOT pass on video. You know, for the kids.

 

Highway? That's a closed racetrack I independently rented. And, for science. Why else?

 

I don't understand how The Hudsucker Proxy fits...

Wait, does Tim Robbins say "for the kids?"

 

That looks beautiful~

I thought my ark polished tips looked pretty good but FI looks a bit nicer.

I ended up going ark because i liked the sound more. And no wait.

Both very high quality, so honestly you can't go wrong. It's a hard decision but should be based on what you personally like more.

I am curious tho, how is FI drone at under 2.5K rpm. Especially under 2K. I've noticed ark drones a bit more than IPL exhaust; not too much more though.
