Yeah STATIK aka Hennry can hook you up for about $350 i think but it is the X02 or M2 or something along those lines that I JUST heard will rust... and Statiks uses an h pipe while Ark has an x pipe i believe...

I have the HKS "knock-off" and don't have a problem with other than the mis-aligned tips. Easy fix. Got it for $260 picked up brand new.

I've added test pipes and a Magnaflow resonated x-pipe. The knock h-pipe is a joke. It's only a 1/4" hole drilled into the piping. Almost useless. After the x-pipe, the exhaust is really reduced the sound. Quieter than before the test pipes. Real quiet when cruising on the freeway. If you live in a wet area with lots of rain and snow, chances are that it will rust.

Here's my video's of the exhaust.

Comparison of test pipes and OEM cats (no x-pipe)

With test pipes and x-pipe on the dyno

Idle rev with test pipes and x-pipe

knock-offs....why buy some cheap azz system you have to add a crossover to and it still doesn't line up correctly to save a few $$? The OE exhaust is better made and would sound good if you just add HFCs, this isn't the Honda you used to drive don't make it so!
