Yo guys... I suppose this is my first official post on this forum, but I have been lurking for a while. Bought my 40th Anniversary back in October '11. I have been loving this car.

I still have my '10 Altima Coupe V6, and it has a 3" y-pipe and a Greddy SE catback. It sounds fierce and I love it. So this brings me to my exhaust debate for the Z. There are a great deal more options for it than my Altima.

I have always been a bit of a Greddy nut-hugger, so naturally one of my first choices is the SE. I thought that most of the choked up power would likely lie within whether or not I got HFC or TPs. However, I like to drive my car a lot (lately it has been a daily - I can't stay out of it), so I would like to avoid exhaust drone if at all possible.

The two exhausts I have narrowed down to are the Greddy SE and the ARK Grip t2v2. Which is going to be the better bet? Power gains are nice, but I'm looking for the total package of tolerable yet high-quality sound (I don't want stupid loud, so I'm obviously not doing non-resonated TPs or LTHs with AAM short tails) along with top-notch, worry free fitment. My Greddy SE on my Altima was second to none quality wise. With the resonator design of the Ark in mind, would it be a smarter buy to go with the Ark and abandon my Greddy romance?

Thanks in advance!
