ARK Exhaust + ART Pipes Experience

TonyBPD · 05-03-2012, 09:05 AM

The Ark + ART combo was horrible for me. Under decel the thing whistled/squeeled like crazy where other Z's would hiss. It sounded great under load but that was it. Switched to Fast Intentions about 2 weeks after initial install.

That totally got rid of the decel hiss? That's prob the one thing I dislike about the Ark and ART pipe combo.

I like the ARK exhaust a lot - I had it on earlier this week without the test pipes and it sounded PERFECT! After I added the test pipes it went downhill, but I don't think it's necessarily the ART pipes, I think its that ARK mid pipe exhaust section that causes all the noise when airflow is increased. I'm contemplating switch CB's to FI or HKS Hi power - but even then I don't know how it will sound.

Do you have any clips of your fast intentions with ART pipes? I'm curious of how this would sound.

Italy - I won't be able to make that Carlisle show

Sorry I don't. Pretty much 2000k rpm's and under when you let off the gas you will hear a whistle/squeel. It is bad.

Even with the FI exhaust? Man, there really is no way around running TPs is there?

Only with the Ark. I was fine with my F.I.
