ARK PERFORMANCE INC : 370z TRUE DUAL Prototype Teaser w/ dB Test.

DannyGT · 08-25-2009, 05:31 PM

That type 2 looks sexy! Interesting placement of the xpipe i see how it looks to flow better from that bend of the front Y...

Awsome job guys! So are you going to support 3 types or will you just build the one thats the most popular?

Do you have any shops/partners in the NY/NJ area??? I will proto that for you at YOUR convinience!!! Lets make it happen!

Shunya · 08-25-2009, 05:36 PM

yeah the type 2 looks really really good imho

TeamARK · 08-25-2009, 05:50 PM

No we are going to give The 370z community 3 options.
3 different pipe designs
3 different exhaust tones
3 dyno proven exhaust systems

Gaiiden · 08-25-2009, 08:40 PM

Mannnnn... that makes me want to road trip it out to Cali!! It would be cheaper than the full-price exhaust... I think...

If you get desperate TeamARK, drop me a PM. I'm able to travel readily.

TeamARK · 08-26-2009, 04:26 PM

We got the tester for the Type 2 prototype. I will keep you guys updated.

ilive2win · 08-26-2009, 06:11 PM

TeamARK · 08-26-2009, 07:54 PM

Like I have stated before in my post, this will be 1 of 3 exhaust designs that will go into production.

I didn't want to just tease you guys with pictures so I had the sound clips made in comparison to the OEM exhaust. Let me know if you have any questions regarding this exhaust.

ARK's New product line exhaust system name brand "GRIP". The ARK "GRIP" offers the serious 350Z enthusiast a rare combination of top quality materials and superb craftsmanship who want the absolute best quality True Dual Burnt SUS Tip exhaust system money can buy.
Each exhaust is constructed with high quality SUS-304 full stainless and manufactured with that full polished finish. Each system features mandrel-bent stainless steel piping for maximum exhaust flow and reduced back pressure. The ARK "GRIP" exhaust system focuses on providing the best possible performance results whether your engine is stock or heavily modified and is dyno proven to maximize engine response and longevity.

Features
Burn Tip layer Exhaust Tips
SUS304 Stainless Steel Construction
Fully Polished Finish 60mm dual Piping w/ DUAL 100mm Exhaust Tip
CNC Machined Flanges
Exposed micro TIG welded
Bolts and hardware required for install are included

Notice how the Sound is deeper yet the decibel level is similar. Could it be our ARK Technology Resonators?

Note: We did 2 start ups on the Test for our Prototype to show idle, to off, and start up noise level. Of course more videos will be up shortly.

I will always try and provide new ways to show the 370z community how our exhaust differ from other brands as well as providing detailed presentable information. We are also working with LOU@AMPLIFIEDMOTORSPORTS. He will have all current pricing once the prices are released.

We are here to simply support our loyal dealers.

ARK PERFORMANCE INC : GRIP TYPE 2 True Dual exhaust 370z

2 of 3 of our Exhaust design for the 370z. Staying true to our True dual X-pipe system, which still continues to give great gains. This is all thanks to our x-pipe and resonator design for best flow with street legal decibels.

Here are some visual persuasion

I'm unable to read the meter, but if it's a dBA meter the level being the same just means that the lower frequencies are at least 10dB below the mid range frequencies (~1000Hz) which actually drive the dBA level.

Nice sound. Love to see the dyno numbers.

Thanks!

The type 2 True dual prototype exhaust is done and in the AIR to Korea. We will keep you guys updated with the status.

ilive2win · 08-28-2009, 03:45 PM

i want to hear it!!!!! this will probably be my first pickup any chance of a group buy?

TeamARK · 08-28-2009, 05:39 PM

The intro Group Buy pre order will start exactly a month before we get our first batch. The intro pricing will be given to our vendors as the date nears.

As for sound clip, Other than the ARK team there is only one other person on the board who heard it first hand. We will put up a sound clip as soon as we possibly can.

If you have any questions please do not hesitate to ask.

Trust me the exhaust note is one of the best I've ever heard

. These guys seem to know what they're doing when it comes to manufacturing and constructing their products. Plus they have excellent customer service and they're very friendly people.

Shunya · 08-28-2009, 08:31 PM

that's some crazy looking mid pipe.

Gaiiden · 08-29-2009, 12:13 AM

I prob won't be ready for a group buy but will most likely do it anyway :P
