You're not too far from us. Just stop by us and check the DT-S Exhaust system. We can definately help with installation. just drive 30min 210FWY

Bump for a great past-sponsor. Ted and the guys at Ark really make some awesome products. Their exhausts are gorgeous...

Here's the one they did for my old car:

Go for the sound note..... hit the N2... don't worry so much about the angle!

The N2 definately sounds better IMO. I've heard both on a tC and I can say the N2 is more aggressive. Ark has been known to make some really kick-___ exhaust systems. They were one of the firsts to come up with a design for the 350z that showed gains and a very aggressive note. Their craftsmanship is second to none and their customer service is excellent. Their pricing is in between HKS and Tsudo, but be assured you are getting top notch quality.

As far as gains, exhausts are not known for huge gains. You may free up 8-10hp max on a catback system.. The axle back systems 2-3 (but who can feel 2-3 anyways?). You'll definately feel the ARK with your "butt dyno" for sure. Alot of that back pressure is relieved and you accelerate quicker/harder.

ARK's kits mate really well with aftermarket Headers/S-pipe.. Might I suggest the Monster Motor Works headers (which includes an S-pipe and a CEL Elminator). Right now there is special pricing for $550.00. Mix the two together and you should be a happy camper..

Well I would hold off on the S-pipe until you determine the specs of your turbo. You'll want one that flows different than an N/A S-pipe. I forget the exact location (somewhere in the tombs of SL) there's an informative article about exhaust design (I think by Dezod) explaining the importance of the side of your exhaust (S/Mid/Axle pipe/outlet) and how it relates to your PSI/back pressure.
