I love that I can drive and be quiet when I want, but then open it up and listen to her sing the song of the Z

Congrats! I can't imagine anything other than ARK, I love mine, I've had it for about 6-7 months in my 2012 and I can't get enough of it. It makes the entire car better, it even shifts better, both up and down, the engine runs much smoother.

i swear i couldnt have chosen better. this by far is the best sounding exhaust for me. ive heard alot of exhaust sounds but this is just on a whole new level of beautiful noise haha

I get mine installed Tuesday. Can't wait. Tired of the stock sound.

Zoren 370 · 08-31-2014, 01:39 AM

oooo ok.. cuz ark hfc doesnt sound any different on youtube.. ill take your word for it.. g3 intakes and ark hfc next mod for sure

Zoren 370 · 08-31-2014, 08:43 AM

A little bit of exaggeration there...lol but it does makes the sound even more solid and less rasp at high revs.

The price is worth every cent.

nomodsjk · 08-31-2014, 08:54 AM

Can you guys post a sound clip?? Please

Do you have to have your engine retuned after installing the ARK ?

I do not think you "have to". I have not yet will be doing it after I do my CAI mod. When you put in a "good" cold air kit you could mess up you air/fuel ratios and lean out the car too much. You don't want that.

As with most cars, tuners can squeeze I few extra HP out of a stock. Is a few HP worth $500ish dollars for just an exhaust? Up to you really.

Heres a vid comparo if you have not heard it before
