Default ARK DT-S vs. Ptuning vs. ARK N2 vs. Dezod vs. Dezod

Alright, I'm having the toughest time deciding between these 2 systems. PLEASE don't recommend something that doesn't look OEM. I'm also going to get MMW after a good long few months. But before then I'm having a 40" resonator put in so don't talk about loudness or anything. This is on an S/C tC forgot to mention

Here's the link to the systems

Ptuning
http://www.ptuning.com/html/Item-Des...o&ModelDesc=tC

ARK DT-S
http://www.arkspeedracing.com/04_ON_...m1200-005d.htm

ARK N2- The only reason I'm adding this is because it sounds amazing with headers.

Dezod

Dezod NA

Edit- I can't add a poll option, so just post a comment....

Can you put the 3" Ptuning catback on an N/A car? What will that do to the car performance wise and sound wise

3" is for cars that are FI....and FI meaning pushing over 300hp at least...it would be really bad for a N/A car...you would lose trq as far as i know..

Personally, i would not go with the ptuning if it's 3"...if they have 2.5" then that would be fine. Even with supporting mods, you might be looking between 200 and 220 whp so 3" is way too big and you might end up looking at losing hp. If you like the OEM look, go either ARK Dt-s or Precision Muffler, or Magnaflow.

you dont necessarily have to be pushing out over 300 hp. a supercharged tc will push out 190, but with the ptuning exhaust its at 200.

the ptuning looks like oem also. would i be losing hp cause of back pressure right? if so, how come the dyno of the 3" on a s/c tc came out so well compared to a 2.5"?

Read the dyno sheets that ptuning posted about having th 3" and S/C, all gains bud. YES, some backpressure is good to have but for some reason the 2az doesnt need it?? I dunno, this engine just likes boost for some reason..... except mine when its cold
