^ Adrian, the prototype should arrive from their headquarter in Korea hopefully in about a month or so. I will update you guys with any additional info once I hear back from ARK.
I am most definitely excited about the release their new exhaust. From what I've seen on the coupe version and also on the 370z, the sound and quality looks incredible!!! I am glad that the sedan guys will have another option for a quality aftermarket catback system.

I'm very curious to know this as well! I'm currently using the Invidia Gemini resonators and X-pipe with my Tanabe axle back muffler sections, but I'd love to have these mufflers instead!

For anyone interested in keeping the OEM look and a bit more sound, this could work. I’d imagine the Invidia Gemini resonators and X-pipe with is louder than the stock mid-pipe.
Is my logic flawed? Is the Invidia Gemini Y-pipe the same length as the OEM Y-pipe? That’s the only unanswered question.

I am fairly sure that the stock muffler cannot directly bolt on to an aftermarket x or y pipe b/c the inlet size is definitely different. Most aftermarket systems have 2.25 or 2.5 inch piping whereas the stock piping is much smaller.
IMO the reason why Tanabe's work is b/c it retain the oem mid pipe and just changes the axle-back only which was specifically designed to work w/ oem piping. However, with a bit of custom work you can pretty much make any exhaust fit.

Does this mean the Invidia Gemini resonators and X-pipe is a direct bolt in to the OEM system? Tanabe is a direct bolt on to the OEM system. If you can bolt in the Invidia Gemini resonators and X-pipe with the Tanabe, then you should be able to bolt in the Invidia Gemini resonators and X-pipe with the OEM mufflers.

Hope this makes sense. It's much easier to understand if you saw it. I will try to take some pics and post them up.

Thanks for the explantion. It makes sense. I wish we had more bolt on axle back options. So much easier than swapping out from the cats backwards. The car just doesn't need a full exhaust to change the exhaust sound. The performance gains from a full exhaust are so minimal.

Is there any chance we can buy the mufflers only?
And btw, what's the difference between dual champer muffler and the other single chambers like FI, Invidia, Tanabe, i know HKS is using dual chamber, and the sound is amazing.
I like their style.
