Ark Exhaust Installed...pics and video...review
 

I got this installed Wednesday.

The Package : arrived in decent condition, the box was ripped at one end, nothing to major though. The packaging was great, and wrapped very well.

The Unpacking : i did notice to small dents, one on the left muffler towards the inside, and one on the left middle down pipe/crossmember. Nothing too major and nothing to bitch about seeing how i will probably scrape these tips in the future so no biggie.

The Sound : below is the video...Its very clean, NO RASP!! Its amazing actually, I dont see how i went this long without a exhaust system and for this one on sale for $899 every penny is well worth it. No rattling or vibration issues after the install so far so good. At cruising speeds its maintains a fairly quite ride, but i mean its so smooth you have to hear it to understand, its not some civic ricer. Stock exhaust compared to this at cruising speed of course you will notice a difference. lol At wide open throttle "WOT" it sounds like Chuck Norris drank a 5 hour energy and round house kicked a wasp nest while a beautiful v6 3.7 liter engine roars with excitement. lol haha. The K&N TYPHOON ALSO HELPS WITH THIS SOUND OF COURSE.

The Install : only took 45 mins, so easy! The bolt ons were exact fitment, no issues at ALL! AMAZING

The Pros : Great Sound, No Rasp, Easy Install, Great Design, Good welds, and package was priced very good for $899. BURNT TIPS!!

The Cons : So far theres only one thing that irritates me.. the ARK imprint on the exhausts dont line up with each other, one is tilted more downwards, but i have a OCD with evenness and things being perfect.

Overall im very satisfied my purchase, and would highly recommend this to anyone looking for a nice CBE.

**PLEASE GIVE ME SOME REP FOR THE WRITE UP** =]

Good looking pipes.

The stainless looks amazing!

Love it, those Ti tips look so good! Makes me want to weld them on my FI exhaust haha. Congrats on the exhaust.

congrats man. yeah this is quite an amazing exhaust.

Deff i was gonna get the F.I. exhaust but i couldn't wait 8-12 weeks to get it. lol im very impatient.

Looks killer man! I wish mine had those tips

You'll be happy with this unit as you drive the car even more..

you have this also? The tone is amazinggggg

Had it since December of 2010. Never regretted the purchase. Still getting compliments.

I've had mine on for about a year now and it's great. Be prepared for a TON of compliments. BTW it sounds even better when you get it broken in a bit. Mine smelled like burning electric every once in a while for the first 100 miles or so while it was getting broken in, so if yours does the same don't worry about it

looks nice, and sounds nice, did you notice any performance gains?

No i dont really feel a difference in HP, but im sure there has to be some gains. at least 8-12 hp.

nice, where did u get it from for $899?

I believe it was a crazy blow out sale that were hosting last month. And it was like 988 shipped
