Default Ark Grip & Berk HFC Life Span -Advice Wanted

Hey guys,

Considering selling my OEM Nismo cat back and cats, but before I do I want to see how long my new system might hold up.

Replaced the stock system and cats around 50k miles for an ark grip and berk HFC’s, haven’t had the car on a lift since then which was about 1.5yrs/15k miles ago so I haven’t had the chance to inspect it thoroughly. There’s slight evidence of aging just looking at the mufflers, but nothing too noticeable. I live on the coast of NJ as well, so that’s not helping my case.

Does anyone have any experience with the life span of these systems specifically? I plan to hold onto the car for at least a few more years, the main goal is to determine if it’s worth holding onto the OEM.

Thanks a lot

Had my Berks for 30k miles and no degradation.
