    I traded the GReddy Ti-C for the ARK GRiP.

    I've never been so confused and turned on at the same time...

    I'm exhaust ignorant. Is there a functional reason for the secondary resonator/muffler? (beyond sounding awesome)

    It's a tuned Helmholtz resonator which is designed to eliminate the cruising frequencies (ie. "drone"). It works very well!

    Nice. Like in the stock intake piping. I see. Very nice piece.

    I'm not going to be rude and ask how much that sucker cost. ;)

    ...instead I used t3h g00glz. That's not as bad as I expected, actually. For the apparent quality (high) it's fairly reasonably priced. Sweet.

    It normally sells for about $1400 or so. I shipped it away, so I doubt it will be back, lol.

    That is probably the most even/symmetrical fitting exhaust that i've seen on a GR body. Sounds amazing too! Do you have a turbo on your Honda!?:p

    The design is very aesthetically symmentrical, but the T-junction going off to the driver's side does not flow evenly. The majority flows out of the passenger side, but some does come out of the driver side.

    I noticed that in the vid. When looking at the "T' in the pics again, it's not suprising! Wonder why they didn't do a better job splitting it? Still...i just watched 3 videos of yours(Greddy single tip/Greddy quad tip/this one) and the ARK was my favorite of the three.:)

    I think they did the split there because it makes it look the most even from the back of the car. The ARK does seem to be a popular one. Maybe I should have kept it... But I do like the tips on the GReddy quad better.

    Gotcha. Well looking at the build quality (from the pics) with the thicker flanges/welds, and also the extra Helmholtz resonators for tha dr0nez...it looks like it's 'second to none' on quality! The Greddy flanges look super thin in comparison.

    That is a nice exhaust and hopefully a keeper ;)
