After about 2K miles or so exhaust sounded a tad louder which I liked.

I think this exhaust with test pipes will prob sound DAMN Good! I'm debating on test pipe or hfc....
Based on the decibel levels on Ark's website the DT-S is slightly louder than the GRiP at ~3000 rpm, right? Regardless, I'm not looking for crazy, all-the-time loud. To echo someone else on this forum, part of the reason we all get exhausts is so we can hear them. I don't want to shell out money solely for passer-by's enjoyment . . . I'd like to enjoy how the thing sounds, too.

I figure if I want it a skoche louder I can either throw on test pipes or hfc (as you eluded to) or take the resonators off like the Nismo in the video on page 2 apparently did . . . prolly not the latter.

From what it sounds like, though, it's still noticeably louder than the stock exhaust, correct?

Thanks for your input, man. What test pipes or hfc are you looking at?
