Bassani or ARK Grip

I have my mind set on the Bassani Exhaust but I wanted to know opinions on this ARK Grip exhaust I found on another site. Both exhaust include X-Pipes and are True Dual type systems. ARK looks like the HKS/HKS Knockoff but has an X-pipe as said before and non-adjustable tips. Open for opinions between the two. I have also realized how much I like the Fast Intentions round muffler set up. This has now been added into the mix.

surprised at how quiet the ARK system is, I like the fixed tip look better and its cool that it comes with an X-pipe. I've heard a lot of complaints about the quality of the H-pipe from HKS, not too mention the poor flow characteristics an H-pipe provides anyway.

Between the two I would go with the ARK system, just to be different though.

Just had a Bassani exhaust and all i can say is WOW! It's not to loud below 2K but when you get up to three you can hear it open up. I have several mods if you look at my sig. However, not a single mod has felt that it has made a difference like the exhaust does. I believe sport compact magazine has a video on youtube. It's without a doubt a good bang for the buck.

It actually is an ARK(http://www.arkspeedracing.com/03_ON_...0900-0307g.htm) NOT an X02! The Bassani is not hard to find either. I can get one for under $1000 and this is after the price increase recently. But thanks for your opinion. No really, thanks.
