Ark Inc. Please don't think in any way that I am here on the forums to destroy your reputation. There are nothing but good reviews of your exhaust in the gencoupe forum.. Thus the reason why I wanted to purchase the exhaust in the first place. I just want to give my feedback to the community since there isn't much available to date.

*UPDATE* 11/13/10
CEL came up. At the same time.. My driver side projector stopped working. I will be visiting the dealer first thing tomorrow to see what causes the CEL. I will update as soon as I can.

As far as the exhaust.. I'm pretty sure I'm well pass the break in period since the exhaust tone got deeper and quieter. Also.. Expect a lot of drone while breaking in between 2-3k RPM. After 2 weeks and 2,100 miles of driving, I can attest that there is very very very minimal drone between 2-3k RPM and none anywhere else.

So far.. Very happy with the sound across the whole RPM band ESPECIALLY pass 4k. The sound just makes me want to smile every time. It feels like I've picked up power low-mid. Can't quite tell on top end.. Feels the same. Will see when I get schedule for a dyno.

Still pretty bummed out about the quality but I am going to have to deal with it since I've spent money to have it installed.. And definitely wouldn't want to pay the restocking fee if I end up returning.
