Doesn't really matter, as long as it fits. Example, J2 has one for $100, fitment is ok. I've heard the Tsudo really sucks and fitment is 50% chance it won't fit. Make sure you buy one that fits your transmission, most are for manual. Motiv's fits both at/mt.

i personally have the ark test pipe with the ark catback. awesome combo. do keep in mind you are deleting the secondary cat if you go with ark.

you can go with nameless too. they have one without a cat and a helmhotz design for extra if you want that helmholtz to eliminate drone. Oh and ark has the helmhotz on there too.

do keep in mind many cats do not have a cat on there so unless you get one with a cat you will be catless with the ark or even with the nameless without the cat. decision is yours of course.

in terms of fitment, the ark fits perfectly. no issues.

Invidia offers a pretty cheap resonated front pipe. ft86speedfactory has them on their site and is where i buy my stuff. Good service.
