That is for sure. You should change that Mad to Happy..

Not bad at all alot less amplified is a good way of putting it Berk Test Pipes and HKS exhaust is a great combo.... But I will find out at the end of April how HKS sounds with FI LTH's :)

I fixed my issue also, it was the xpipe hitting the cross member. I disconnected the rear exhausts and the section that connects to the xpipe. re-aligned it and used high temp silicone to seal and no more rattling issue.


But I wanted to see pictures of others with this exhaust because it seems that the passenger side hangs lower than the right no matter how straight the connections were made and how far pushed in I put the hangers on the exhaust.

Mine use to hang visibly lower on the right but since I re-aligned everything to the best that it could be its not as bad but you can tell if you looked really hard:shakes head:

Sometimes mine looks crooked sometimes it doesn't. The top pic is the most recent and that appears to be straight. I think. lol

Thanks for the pics.. The first two looks fine but the last pic looks a little off on the right side like mine... I'll post mine up when I get to a regular computer + rep for u

No prob! Glad I could help.

Mine sits perfectly. Aside from making sure you push up the x pipe on install, the fitment was damn near perfect

I also had the ARK exhaust installed and developed a nasty metallic rattle. I took it back to the shop today and it was the cross member causing the rattle. We configured a spacer kit which increased the clearance from the exhaust to the cross member and the rattle is gone. Too bad ARK doesn't include a spacer kit with the exhaust or at least some instructions warning you of the potential problem. Oh well, a quick easy fix once you know what to do.

you dont need a spacer. just have the exhaust installed correctly. hold the exhaust up as you tighten the bolts from the cat to the end.

thats the advice for installing any catback actually.

That may have worked for you but it did not work for me or some others. The spacer was they key, that or removing the cross member.

will the spacer but any weird stress on the exhaust welds over time? Causing them them to crack in the long run?

The spacers will not cause any stress to the exhaust thanks to the rubber hangers and the flex pipe at the Y
