Seems like a reasonable approach, and (relatively) easy on the wallet.
Exactly.

Can you plz explain what you mean by " increased volume of my helmholtz resonators" I'm very interested.

So you simply made it bigger n did you fabricate the whole set up or you got the Helmholtz resonators from your own exhaust. I have the ark is something like this possible

Yes, I have Tanabe and my resonators are removable.

IMO By the time you add HFC's to a Tanabe axle back your gonna get too much drone again. I tried running HFC's with the Tanabe for a while and it was just too loud and droney (if that's actually a word) for me. I'm happy with the sound of my Tanabe axle back with Tanabe Y-pipe and OEM resonated mid-pipe and OEM cats... Just a little bit louder than stock, but absolutely no drone.

Perhaps I'm looking at this from the perspective of *resonated* high-flow cats.

Thanks for the input fellas . I think we have a some widely differing opinions here. Motodyne iia not an option. From the videos, I thought ARK is louder than stillen but many of you and the performance tuning shop here in Toronto, white head racing, told me that Stillen will be more droney/raspy.
took the car to the local exhaust shop and the leak is in Y pipe. I can get the OEM Y for about 800 cad and an after market one for about 550.
I am leaning towards ARK

You can get an aftermarket Y pipe from Rockauto delivered to you in Toronto for under 200.00 including taxes and duties

I have the ark on my 2013 sedan 7A/T which is prone to drone with an aftermarket exhaust due to the transmission Characteristics n while at a gentlemenz meet up last Sunday I got to hear the stillen which is not louder than the ark CBE exhaust no way, drone n raspyness is different from actual volume. The ark has no rasp or drone due to the Helmholtz resonators right behind the muffler, just something to think about.

I disagree with the fact that ark has no rasp or drone. It definitely did when I had it but not too sure if that was due to my Z1 HFC or not. It's been a while. One thing the ARK grip does have is hiss upon decel.

Here's a video of my car showing it when I had the Ark Grip


Don't get me wrong though, the ARK is a beautiful exhaust. Sounds great. But to say it doesn't have any drone or rasp is not entirely true, at least in my eyes.
