ARH system vs BBK

Hey guys, I’m on the fence about choosing between the ARH Long system with H-Pipe or with just the LTH from BBK. Both are LTH with high flow cats, but the ARH has 2.5” mids/h-pipes and the BBK LTH will use the stock mids and h-pipe.

Anyone know if there is any power increase or deeper rumble/note with the larger mids/h-pipe? Either one of the options will be paired with my MRT V-1 axleback with quad 4” tips and tune.

Here is the ARH long system:

I absolutely loved my ARH set-up. It sounded great. The first time I came in 2nd at Camaro Fest, I was beat by a guy with BBK's. I did not have headers yet. I did not like how his set-up sounded nor did I like the sound of any other V6 I had heard with headers. I went straight to the ARH booth & talked to Nick. He convinced me to let him make me a set of long tubes &n high flow cats with an H-pipe. I was never sorry at all. It was pretty quiet at idle & cruise, but at WOT it was a lovely deep sound. The system looked great too. Those welds are a work of art. It never rusted like the BBK's will. Just IMHO. Here is a video clip:

Wow, great note! I decided to pull the trigger the other day and order them. Extremely excited! How long did it take you to receive them?

Also, thank you for your input.

Geez, that has been a long time ago, so I don't really remember. Hope you love it as much as I did.
BTW that was with Borla mufflers.
