Just get the cheapest ones that are resonated. The quality difference is negligible/theoretical as I've yet to hear of one cracking. Worst case scenario, you'll need different bolts. There is some evidence the ART pipes make a few more ponies due to some thoughtfully designed resonators, but they are VERY pricey.

You may need to get multiple de-fouler extenders for the 2ndary O2's or need tuning to keep the ECU happy (the only thing that worked for me). In either case, tuning is advisable without cats.

ART makes more power than other resonated test pipes? Or are the claims that they make more than unresonated?

Also, how many de-foulers did you use? My test pipes have an O2 extension and I just picked up some ~1.5" de-foulers that I haven't installed yet.
