I don't think any exhaust gives that much of an HP increase but IMO Ark ($1000) sounds the best.. or just get the mufflers cut off ($150)

Hey,

The Ark Performance or Apexi exhaust are good. Ark is on sale right now!

Feel free to text us at 213 394 2886 for pricing.

Not a big fan of Ark myself, I would go with Tanabe / REVEL Quad Exhaust for RC350.

If you want silent then I would go LEXON Quad Silent Power Exhaust.

Remark is by far my favorite. Axle-back (muffler delete) with a nice quad pipe design.

It's all personal preference and you can't go wrong with either. The Remarks are delayed by a couple months (it's been almost 3 months for me) right now, so that's something to note.

I personally have enjoyed my Tsudo catback. It's rather cheap (so probably a copy of a better one) but it sounds really melodious after 4000 RPM at WOT. Drone isn't too bad, really noticeable around 2000 RPM at 65-70 mph but has mostly quietened out as the exhaust "broke in".
