Ark Exhaust Type 2 :)

thats what i was thinking but I'm just going to wait and see what happens. i believe he put up another thread with the same pictures and i said something about not installing it...

ouch. Those welds are iffy and scratches just make it look worse.

Those weld will not break. The scratches are on the hangers where each tips much be hand welded. All 370z exhaust will come fully polished free of scratches during our November sale.

Yeah.. Wasn't expecting it either. After having the pics posted for awhile now.. No offense But I was hoping ARK would have at least stepped in to see if they can do something about my dilemma first rather than securing their sales by saying that their product will not be like that on November sale??

^^^He just made it sound like they have been half a**ing everything and. that is a little messed up, try contacting him and see what he says/does. My exhuast better be flawless...

OMGWTFBBQ

I think the ridiculously large pictures only further exemplify the horrible craftsmanship of this exhaust.

I would never put anything that looked like this on my car.

Oh wow! So Nov is a month of not getting a typical shitty ARK quality exhaust!

Judging by those pics I wouldnt be proud to say thats what you will be offering.

Just a small problem, We're in a Z forum.
How are Z owners going know to be checking a thread in a G forum for positive feedback? Besides the Ops exhaust is for a Z not a G or did I miss something? Whats the ops thread, and pics got to do with another member issue? I find you guys even allowing to be base member self promoting and stipulating to see you're distributors as being cheap. No other vendor has base members promoting their product. But thats Ak's decision to allow that and I respect him so I'll stop their. hope you're exhausts improve in quality? For the sake of the unsuspecting members here.

If you plan to offer any of your products, pay up for the forum sponsorship. But that's AK's job, not mine. In regards to the exhaust -

Those are some of the worst welds I've ever seen. I'm only glancing over the pixelly pictures and I already see three or four weld porosities, and some overall shoddy work with discontinued welds. Do all of the systems look like this?? Good thing it's just an exhaust and not meant to hold containment. Probably leaks like a sieve out of those welds. There's scratches and dents all over that system too, at least from what I see.

I'm bashing just offering constructive criticism. I'd like to hear what ARK has to say in regards to their quality assurance checks on their products. Hard to believe a company would let a product with clear scratches on the hangers and bad welds go out of the shipping dock.
