ARK Exhaust Is Here

TonyBPD · 02-27-2010, 09:06 AM

Fed Ex showed up this morning with the ARK exhaust. Was supposed to be here yesterday but they must not do residential deliveries in the snow. I was kinda worried because the box was pretty busted up. The good news is that the individual pieces inside the box were well packed and no damage occurred.

Off to my friends shop at 12 to get it put on. Stay tuned for pics and videos.

Congrats!
I know you've been waiting patiently for these and I'm sure they will be worth it!
Can you keep the rpm steady @ 2,000rpm for me?

Post many videos regardless, please!

After inspecting all the pieces, I loaded it into the Z. Exhaust install was pretty simple. Had the stock one off in a few minutes and the ARK on in about 15 once it was all lined up. It does need some adjustments but I will get that done next week sometime.

This thing sounds awesome. It is much better than what I hoped for. There IS some drone but with the lack of sound deadening in these cars its expected. I took a few videos (in car) and will post them tomorrow. Didnt really take the car on too longof a drive because the roads were wet and I'm depressed from all this snow. LOL

Here are a few pics.

looks nice man - post those videos already

TonyBPD · 02-27-2010, 08:04 PM

The video was taken on a point and shoot camera. Take it for what its worth. Holding it in my left hand, shifting and steering with the right. Windows are UP.

Looks nice. Time for some outside the car takeoff and flyby videos.

TonyBPD · 02-27-2010, 08:16 PM

Most definitely. I will get the wife to hold the camera.

You didn't get the burnt tips?!

TonyBPD · 02-27-2010, 09:13 PM

The tips are in fact burnt.

Cold start up sound clip. Taken with point and shoot Canon camera. Camera was on the ground about 3ft. away from the rear of the car.

Sounds good Tony!
