Is there anyone in the chicago area that has this exhaust?? I really want to hear it in person!

For those who have the exhaust, are you bottoming out during daily driving? Is it be able to go up a speed bump or down a driveway with a curb without scraping? Has anyone paired it with HFC's or Test pipes, if so how does it sound??

I have had no problems with clearance, scraping, or anything of that nature. Ive gone over speed bumps and some pretty steep driveways, so far so good ! :tup:

Awesome! Have you or anyone on here been able to compare it to a FI CBE side by side?

zrider 09-29-2010 04:03 PM

I have not heard the FI exhaust, sorry =/

I got the same ones too (with the more grayish-purple tint and no ARK logo). I actually really like the color on them cause it goes amazing with the 40th Anny Graphite which is really similar in color.

Kinda hard to see here, but you get the idea:

Just installed my exhaust last night. The quality is the best I have ever seen. I have test pipes, the sound is so much better than I expected. It is not a quiet exhaust with test pipes. The install was super easy and I am not having any rattling issues with the cross member. The passenger side muffler seems to sit lower than the driver side but I didn't really have time to adjust it last night. The only "weird" thing about it is when it is a cold start up, if I gas it and let off the gas, theres a whistle/sucking noise(almost like a blow off valve). Maybe this is due to the little cannisters? But after a few minutes it stops this noise. Also, the pipes hang kinda low, I don't know if I can lower the car now without scraping in my drive way. Overall I love this exhaust and should have vids up this weekend.

Nope, don't "Ownz" me either! Not sure which I like better, I like the purpleish one for being a little more stealth than the new one, but the ARK logo on the newer ones is very nice. Oh well, it looks good either way and sounds f'n great.

Do we have before and after dynos for these?

If not, anyone getting one?

Did you just put the test pipes on with the exhaust Big J? The whistle/sucking noise may be your test pipes. Or the exhaust made the sound more noticeable/magnified. I worry about ground clearance as well, haven't smacked mine on anything yet.

Big J 10-15-2010 12:42 PM

The test pipes have been on the car, then I added the cat back last night. I kinda thought the tp might be leaking but the sound only happens on a cold start up and you let off the gas. The streets around Memphis are HORRIBLE so I really worry about the clearance.
