Interesting, so no news was actually no news. Seems like they would want to get this taken care of since bad publicity flies on a forum like this. Hopefully they take care of you, hopefully my exhaust does not have the same problem.

I called over to ARK Performance today and found that Alex has left for Korea, temporarily. He should be back within the next couple of weeks. Until then, this issue can be solved by speaking with their warehouse manager by calling (909) 391-1275.

They have explained that an adjustment can be made by "pushing up the flange and rebolting that portion of the exhaust."

Any baseline dyno and after exhaust dyno? went through the thread and didnt find any info on this

The first part of the post I can get down with. The second has to be the funniest thing ever. I know you didn't say it Eric!

Alex should be chiming in soon. We spoke with him earlier today.

Give us a call. First we will direct you to reinstall the midpipe. If it still hits then we will replace it asap

Well, whether this is correct or not, my exhaust is built the same way. Pics here:

I'll try to install it and see what happens.

TonyBPD · 08-05-2010, 03:34 PM

What does your supplied gasket look like?

bullet1 · 08-05-2010, 03:42 PM

the gaskets are all separate so I have 2 - 2 bolt gaskets to go on that connection. While it doesn't seem like it would affect the fitment much, who knows. We'll see.

TonyBPD · 08-05-2010, 03:46 PM

My gasket was one piece. Bottom line is someone, somewhere screwed up. I wonder how many are jacked?

Here is a close up of mine -

This is very interesting! Hopefully you don't have the same problem I had.

The friend who installed it is very knowledgeable at installing exhausts. He tried any trick he could to get more space between the cross member. He loosened everything up pushed the mid pipe up with a transmission jack re-tightened everything and still ended up with no extra clearance.
