Nissan 370Z Forum - View Single Post - ARK PERFORMANCE INC : 370z TRUE DUAL Prototype Teaser w/ dB Test.

TeamARK · 08-07-2009, 03:09 PM

As the g37 Coupe is about done, We already had this already well into the design process and now have a prototype made.

Like I have stated before in my post, this will be 1 of 3 exhaust designs that will go into production.

I didn't want to just tease you guys with pictures so I had the sound clips made in comparison to the OEM exhaust. Let me know if you have any questions regarding this exhaust.

ARK's New product line exhaust system name brand "GRIP". The ARK "GRIP" offers the serious 350Z enthusiast a rare combination of top quality materials and superb craftsmanship who want the absolute best quality True Dual Burnt SUS Tip exhaust system money can buy.
Each exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS-304 full stainless and manufactured with that full polished finish. Each system features mandrel-bent stainless steel piping for maximum exhaust flow and reduced back pressure. The ARK "GRIP" exhaust system focuses on providing the best possible performance results whether your engine is stock or heavily modified and is dyno proven to maximize engine response and longevity.

Features
Burn Tip layer Exhaust Tips
SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction
Fully Polished Finish 60mm dual Piping w/ DUAL 100mm Exhaust Tip
CNC Machined Flanges
Exposed micro TIG welded
Bolts and hardware required for install are included

Notice how the Sound is deeper yet the decibel level is similar. Could it be our ARK Technology Resonators?

Note: We did 2 start ups on the Test for our Prototype to show idle, to off, and start up noise level. Of course more videos will be up shortly.

I will always try and provide new ways to show the 370z community how our exhaust differ from other brands as well as providing detailed presentable information. We are also working with LOU@AMPLIFIEDMOTORSPORTS. He will have all current pricing once the prices are released.

We are here to simply support our loyal dealers.

ARK PERFORMANCE INC : GRIP TYPE 2 True Dual exhaust 370z

2 of 3 of our Exhaust design for the 370z. Staying true to our True dual X-pipe system, which still continues to give great gains. This is all thanks to our x-pipe and resonator design for best flow with street legal decibels.

Here are some visual persuasion

GRIP TRUE DUAL Exhaust TYPE 2
Nissan 370z

additional Notes:

The additional canisters have two important functions. One is to keep the true tone of the 370z. During lower RPM's these canisters fill up and lessens drone (which is ideal for Daily driving). When it comes to higher RPM's, the air bypasses these canisters and act as a straight through muffler. The results show that it bears the same gains as any straight through mufflers while keeping the tone.

However there is a difference between our exhaust system design and other exhaust systems as well that make our sound unique. Its the quality of metal that we use as well as the thickness of piping that we used to make these exhaust system. Not to mention that we implemented our X-flow into this system as well.

Ultimately, we came out with a way to have that clean tone, without sacrificing performance throughout the band.

- What are the differences between this and the Type 1 and Type 3?

Type 3 has not even been released yet.

The difference if between type 1 and 2 is the design of the exhaust system.
Type 1( ARK DTS )- uses a True dual system that never meets and flows straight through all the way back.

Type 2( ARK GRIP )- utilized our X-flow, Dual Resonators, and Dual Canisters.

Our signature tips are dual Rolled, welded, Polished burnt tips

Lastly, for Type 3 ( ARK N2 ) - we are looking into a Single Exit exhaust that is used for competitive street and Track use. We will use Titanium for our single exit systems. This model will be the last project that we take on for the 370z.

Just a small added note: We are also looking into short shifters for the 370z. so stay tuned.
