the megan drift spec is not a full exhuast system is it? I know the ARK is a full exhaust system and I actually am very excited to see one installed once it's officially released. The sound clip on their website sounds Awesome!!!

In a way, the Megan DS is more complete because it bolts right up to the s-pipe. The Ark requires that you cut the midpipe after the second cat. The Megan eliminates the second cat.

Well.. Good point. If you elimited 2nd cat, how about smog test ? and California law if you don't have CAT - you must pay fines upp to $1400.00 for non cat driving tuner cars.

There are no smog checks where I live, and the primary cat does enough to satisfy my green side. Don't get me wrong, I think your company's N2 exhaust is sweet. I just wish it didn't require cutting and I wish it weren't 2x the Megan Drift Spec price. Are you going to dyno test the other tC exhaust (DTS)?

YES. We're going to dyno both spec. And we did G35 sedan yesterday and got about 12Whp gains and 7tq's.
