After hearing his car I'm saving up for ARH. I don't even care if it makes zero power. I want that sound!
I drive in a ARH car every now and then, it is quieter than stock headers for sure.

Yeah it's actually quieter than I thought. My test pipe + oem mod rear was louder, but the noise is so much better in the ARH system (if you're into deeper noises vs trumpet sound). It's closer to a smaller displacement US v8 in tone
