Default making a difficult decision

okay so once i get my bike running again....i am going to upgrade to a full titanium exhaust system....either an arata or a hamaguchi...for a 2006 zx6r..

my only question is does anybody have any good knowledge about any of these exhaust...and what one would give me the most power??

i have heard from companies that hamuchi gets around 5hp increase and i have been told by others that arata can get that and more...i was not wanting to waste money on an inferor system...i really don't care about the sound but more the performance gain and the look...trying to stay with an asian exhaust on an asian bike...

i know that each bike is different so asking for what kind of performance gain do ppl get might seem inadequate but i am trying to get a number that i would assume be in the ball park...

i can't seem to find a hamaguchi that is under 1400 bucks...but i found on ebay a arata system for around 1100 bucks plus 40 bucks for shipping..

i have been going over the two exhaust systems in my head and am torn between the two...both are great but i would like to compare installation and longevity of the system....

HP is all in the tuning that gets done to make it. A crappy tuning will screw you while someone that knows how to read a sniffer and adjust for it can make great **** happen!

wow, both systems are top notch. (At least for the 10r's that I have seen run.) The beet nassert system looks good on the 6r as well. The crossovers are abit larger as well. Tuning as mentioned above is key.

i am going to have it tuned by factory pro in san rafael...which have a top notch tuners techies there...but i was just wondering what ppl thought if one is able to take it better...if not i am going to look at price for how much it weights but they both say they are 8 lbs. the only thing that could be better would be beet which is like .5 lbs lighter...only because i think the mounting hardware is titanium also...
