Has anyone been able to fix the Ark fitment issue?

I am liking the sound of the Ark exhaust but the uneven fitment in the pics I have seen just looks terrible. Is there an easy fix for this? Also,

Also, from what I read it seems like the exhaust hangs pretty low. My driveway is very steep. I have a nismo so the long front bumper does not help, but I am able to get up without any problems if I up at an angle.... not sure if anyone can answer this based just on this information, but does it sound like I would have any scraping issues?

You cant fix it as its an error from factory

as far as v2, they released one picture and i can still see uneven mufflers but they said its just for test.. so in my book, the issue is still there

The V2 will be perfect. We made the final modification before it was set out for mass production. It will be perfectly symmetrical on both axis

sounds good. I was looking at the thread for the v2... I may have missed it but I did not see anything in regards to when the system will be available. Do you have any updates for this?

Yes we are currently taking pre orders for this at the moment. Only a handful of these coming in.

It is listed on the Vendor Exhaust/Intake for sale thread

No problem. We really went all out this time around. Even the Y pipe was modified to close all gaps. The midpipe and muffler section was redone so that clearance would be close to stock as possible. We did this while maintaining the ARK GRIP sound that you guys are so fond of.
