    Good choice. The Kooks do looks nice, too. I imagine they are very similar to the ARH in design and quality.

    I also just installed ARH LT exhaust with 1 3/4 primaries. Install wasn't too bad. It was definitely a chore to get to all of the studs but when I got them all tightened down I had zero issues with leaks.

    Do you feel like you're getting the stated HP gains? I assume you're using a DAP tune?

    Just asking. Thinking about options. Thanks!

    Yes to both. I have a DAP tune. And yes, there were noticeable gains. I haven't put it on a actual dyno, but the butt dyno says there is a very noticeable difference.

    I have the ARH cat back. I installed the full ARH system.

    In terms of sound, it is definitely a bit deeper and more aggressive than the stock exhaust. It makes a nice growl on a cold start but then is pretty quiet and mellow while cruising but definitely makes a nice deep growl when under WOT. I used to have a BAM 8" standard muffler with the stock tailpipe. I didn't ever install the resonator on the BAM so the BAM was a bit louder while cruising but pretty similar under WOT.
