So one gained 2.8HP and 12.5ft lb torque and the other gained 4.7HP and 6.2ft lb torque but which is which. I assume that's an HR motor but those gains seem quite minimal. I hope I see better results when I install my exhaust this week sometime.

We had 3 runs on the dyno at SP Engineering and the first pic shows the first run and the last pic shows the last run. Keep in mind that this is the ARK exhaust being compared to the NISMO exhaust on a HR motor!

Oh now I get it, both dynos are the Ark vs. Nismo. I thought one dyno was stock vs. Ark and the other was stock vs. Nismo. In that case those gains are pretty good and I'm looking forward to seeing how my car dynos.

From what I was told, there are differences in the resonators as well as the mufflers in addition to the x-pipe that neither the X02 or HKS have. Also the HKS has 120mm titanium tips while the Ark has 100mm Stainless tips that are welded on.

Our quality is between HKS and Greaddy system. no X02.

The drop should be about 1.0-1.2" in the front & rear and should be coming out in a month or so. You most likely won't need a camber kit to run on these babies!

is the x-pipe compatiable with authentic HKS TD? this might be a good selling point for the x-pipe alone you if you can make it available.
