You can't go wrong with either one IMO.

I have the FI for my xS sedan and LOVE it.

I have the ARK and absolutely LOVE it. I have never personally had the FI on my car, but I know it is a quality exhaust that does sound good.

Personally, I would go with ARK every time, but you really can't go wrong with either, they are both top notch systems.

They DO NOT sound the same at all, having heard both in person and driven both, currently owning 1.

What happened to picking up the MXP from NY?

I happen to like the Ark. I was considering the FI, but it is Ark that gets my vote.

I have the ARK. Putting cost in your analysis could be helpful too. Bang-for-buck could sway towards ARK. I know that's why I bought mine.

Edit: I wanted an HKS look rather than FI/Tanabe, so that's another reason I went with ARK.

i think people are going to vote for whichever exhaust they have.
if you can you should try to listen to both in person, not youtube and make a decision based on that.
ive never heard the ark in person so cannot comment. also note that there might be a longer wait for the F.I exhaust.

I am happy to see that ARK is getting compared to one of the most reputable and popular exhaust in this community. Thanks for the support guys. Hats off the F.I. in making some good exhausts. Keep up the good work.

Keep in mind with FI you're in for at least a 2 month wait, unless you can get one used.

I'd love to hear the ARK exhaust in person sometime

Cast my vote for ARK, Ive never heard the F.I. in person, but I own the ARK and paired them with Berks and abosolutely love it ! It has the looks, an attractive sound and its also very affordable compared to other exhaust systems out there.

The drone in low RPM used to bother the sh*t outta the wife at first, now she just loves to drive the car to open it up and hear the exhaust... women !?! lol !

ARK fits within your budget and is wife approved ! LMAO ! Thanks Alex !
