MD shock wave is only $1,800= where are you lookin?

Would you like Tony's phone # so you can barter with him? Just do a dual cat-back and add the HFCs when you can afford em. Motordynes prices are printed in stone unless he'll cut you a deal....don't know why he would.

Motordyne exhaust vs. HKS vs. ARK

I need some help. Im trying to decide on which exhaust to get. Between the 3 mentioned in the title,i have questions. Which one sounds better? ( preferably deeper tone) How is the motordyne a "true dual" when it connects at the Y pipe? and Would a "true dual" like the HKS or ARK be better than the Motordyne?

I'd say motordyne is probably the deepest of the three.It connect to the Y pipe but it is running through a resonater pipe which has one inlet that goes to a dual exit (with a divider down the middle of the resonator) and then onto the midpipes.
So it is a true dual for all intents and purposes, it just has a "X-pipe" that creates more low end torque.

The ARK is a replica. And HKS is not a bad option at all, it just has a different tone than the motordyne...

I'd go for the motordyne if you want a "true dual" exhaust that has a nice deep growl and will probably make more power than the ARK or the HKS

Depending on your budget the Motordyne is the best option. Most power, best sound, best fitment, best quality. Ask the HKS guys what they thought when the restriction in the y pipe was discovered. GaryC will be happy to tell you how he felt...........

Haha well looks like I'm sold on the motordyne. One more question, which would be better, the HFC or a resonater?

You can't use either with the TDX2. The system starts with the front half of the XYZ pipe and bolts on from there. That's one point that people complaining about the price don't get, the TDX2 is a true cat-back system.

Scroll down a bit here to see what I'm talking about: http://www.motordyneengineering.com/...bb368ef04ce937
