Motordyne always seemed too loud to me. But now I know about the Ark Grip so I might buy that.
I've got the HKS Hi Power. It's quiet, has a great tone to it and no drone

Did you have the FI and ditch it? Did you attempt the Helmholtz?
It'd probably be cheaper to sell my FI and start over, versus pay a shop to fab a Helmholtz for me. Today's fab prices are crazy where I live.
I'm torn.

I had the FI on a different z. I installed Art pipes. They helped with the drone

Probably hard to find someone that's done both but any differences(both power and drone) between ART pipes/resonators at the front vs at the mufflers?

I have ART test pipes and they make little difference in the cabin resonance I'm having.
