And scraping the front edge of that thing would be bad, esp. if it actually catches up on something.

idk if it's just me, but it does looks like the right can scraped a bit. And just to go a little further, if you watch the video, at :33 seconds is it just me or does it sound like somethings scraping?

I don't mean to cause any problems for ARK because I love the sound of the exhaust and I'm really considering it. These are just concerns I, and I'm sure many others have.

semtex · 11-10-2009, 10:06 AM

I thought that sound was the driver grinding the gear a little. But now that you mention it, I don't know if it came from the gearbox or if it was the exhaust scraping.

I think it's the front chin spoiler scraping. Watch the vid again, it looks like the driver's side of the chin spoiler touches the pavement a little.

I agree with semtex - even looking at the video it's almost obvious that the chin scraped the ground.

sofa_king · 11-10-2009, 12:57 PM

Yes, it is the chin that is scraping in the video. As far as ground clearance while lowered, the flanges are the lowest point and the cans being the second lowest. I've had no big problems yet with the exhaust scraping on normal driveways and speed bumps. The scrape you see on the right can was from backing out of a pretty steep driveway. I've talked to Ark about this and they said once the final production comes in the flanges will sit higher than it is right now. Have anymore questions feel free to ask

DEC 15th is the due date for our ARK system. Type 1 and 2. from now and then, we will be getting 1 more prototype units to ensure flange adjustment and finalized fitment for mass production.

If you guys have any question regarding our system please do not hesitate to ask.

I Have 2:

What will type 3 look like and will you be offereing non burnt tips as well? ( don't like burnt tips one bit...)

TeamARK · 11-12-2009, 05:22 PM

I cannot release the info on the type 3 just yet. As for the tip, we might even go with a different tip design.

I thought something scraped (seemed like a can) at 1:01-1:03

semtex · 11-16-2009, 07:13 PM

It was the front chin spoiler. Look closely, it's the driver's side that scrapes.

I've looked several times now, I think someone else should because it looks like the front isn't even close but the rear on the other hand..just after those bumps it hits..i'm pretty sure it's the exhaust.
