Yep

True true duals (i.e. no X pipe) make the VQ sound like a normal 6 cylinder. You compare the Hi-Power sound to something like a Porsche or E46 M3, the sound is pretty close. But they don't take advantage of cross bank scavenging which supposedly hurts power a little bit.

Yep! I think I made my decision, TDX V2 with Berk test pipe combo, seeing as if I bought the ART tests pipes, id be broke, haha! Do you think running Berks would sound good?

i agree, but we all know people are inpatient and want it now. when i had my Invidia exhaust the art pipes made a huge sound improvement over the Kinetix HFC. I have wasted so much money swapping parts out, if you do like SQualZ said you will actually save money in the long run

HKS doesn't even compare to Motordyne

On a scale of 1 to 5, stock being 1. HKS is a 3 (mild)...Motordyne is a 5

I'd say TDX2 + ART. HKS was great back in the day before Motordyne was around, but now that you can get Motordyne, it's a no brainer.
