i say just get all of them and try it and the ones you dont like, just sell them. everybody on this forum is gonna have their own views and opinions. checking out old threads still hasnt really helped me choose one. best way would be meeting other forum members and checking out their exhaust. gl

I say go Ark.

No drone
Awesome sound/tone
Not loud during cruising, has an awesome just mellow tone in the background
When you get on it, it just sings
looks damn good.

I cant speak on power, but unless someone does proper head to head testing its never going to be conclusive.

I have the F.I TDX w/ 18" resonators. On cold start, I become my neighbors alarm clock, lol. It quickly calms down after about a minute or so though. I get some drone at around 2200 RPM, but I am usually not in that range for long while crusing. Only in stop and go and just for a moment. That is how the NISMO should have come from the factory IMO, but I also loved the way the Z33s sounded and they were much louder stock in comparison. Soon I will have a custom TDX for use with my TT installation. That should sound pretty awesome.

The Ark sounds great from the vids and such. Haven't seen one in person yet though.
