Default Exhaust discussion - ARK N2 & HKS Hi-Power

I bought the HKS Hi-power 1 year and 6 months ago, I really like the HKS exhaust sound but I was very disappointed at HKS company for not making a full catback system, just an axle back. Now, I really want to know about the ARK N2, are they the same or ARK sounds better than HKS? I would like to have a nice power gain which is 12HP from ARK N2 but one thing that I dont like is cutting my mid pipe. I thought they made a nice bolt-in exhaust. Sound like ARK N2 has the best high quality exhaust for $570 compare to my $400 HKS. Guys, tell me what do you think I should do... buy the ARK N2 cuz of the sounds and a nice 12HP gain performance or keep my HKS and do something about it?

well just thought i would drop in since i have the N2, it's a great exhaust the power is great and the sound is about 10x better then the HKS it's a little louder but deeper sounds nice. i got a pic up in my profile so.....you get what you pay for and that's the best.

???
400 for a hks hi?

just go to cardomain.com buy a HKS universal muffler.. ($200?)
buy a resonator (ebay) for $70....
go to your local muffler shop and give them what you bought and let them to make the pipeing...

so.. it will be a REAL cat back system.
