Just received the new Ark Type 2 Grip True Dual exhaust

Trese7en · 02-20-2010, 12:52 AM

Yeah, I have raspiness with my setup. The metallic hiss/rattle mostly happens on acceleration though and not really decel. The sound is reallly bad during the first several minutes of driving after start up, then it dies down a bit after it gets warmed up, but you can still hear it sometimes. Some exhausts just arent meant to be mated with TPs or HFCs I guess.

Edit: My setup is with the new Invidia Gemini btw.

the flanges look like they would be the first to scrape. that could be bad

I kinda like the hiss, it, in combination with the G3's make a sweet combo, sounds like an angry cat, cats are scary.

TeamARK. The hiss is not from the flanges where the cats meet. Even with the Fast Intentions long tube headers the car makes the same noise.. the way the engine is designed it just makes this noise. The less restriction you have in your exhaust system the louder it will be.

After going through 2 sets of test pipes, I don't think there is any solution to this. I could be wrong but I think I'm the only one with an Ark exhaust AND test pipes. Unless someone else can chime in.

We had sofa_kings car with and without the HFC. I guess our definition of "hiss" is different. But its a fact that there is a difference in sound between the two.
More hiss with the HFC.
