I actually had an Invidia exhaust on my first car, a 2000 Toyota Celica GT-S, I had no problems with it at all. It was a very well made exhaust and that is why the Invidia was one of my first choices for the Z.

From what I have read there is definitely reason for concern of quality for the ARK.

And agreed with above, the only difference is the $2k HKS nameplate that isn't tacked on, if you can live without it, you'll save yourself the $2k.
I will definitely have to check out this OBX exhaust though. I definitely don't mind not having the HKS brand name on my exhaust, as long as it sounds pretty similar.
