The Ark exhaust sits a bit low, even if your car isn't lowered. A bit more aggressive sounding than the Stillen CBE. The Stillen has better gains performance wise I believe. Also maintains that un-modified look which I personally like. If an aggresive sound is what your after, I'd go with Fast Intentions. GTHaus Meisterschaft if you want to go really loud and don't mind parting ways with a few more federal reserve notes.

i wouldnt say the stillen has more gains. No one has properly done head to head testing on any of the exhausts. But comeon! the ark just sounds sooo goooood.

You can't go wrong with either one. The Ark CBE sounded great on Econ's ride before he sold it. It still surprises me how no one has yet to dyno the Ark exhaust by itself.

the clearance issue will be resolved with the new type 2 v2, and for the type 1 there will be no problem in clearance as well. I would go with the ark personally because i love their sound over the stillen, performance wise we have yet to know until their are dyno numbers strictly with the exhaust only.
