The Full Monty

Well I figured I'd start one of these things. So here it goes.

I went from this: 2005 F250 Harley Davidson Edition 6.0 Diesel

To this: 2009 370Z Touring W/ Sport package

So back in November I bought the Z. Some pics, I took a couple days after picking her up

Thankfully the pics weren't of what the title suggests. LOL

Nice color combo.

The Z looks real nice. I like the contrast of the blue against the surrounding area, it makes the blue stand out.
Nice Pics, can't wait to see more. Great Job Monty

This is quoted from the ARK Exhaust Type 2 thread. This was posted on 4/5/2010

Quote:

Its hard to line the picture up correctly but the tips stick out the appropriate length, a little further than stock, all parts are spaced evenly. Nothing is off center. I had the system put on by a local shop, and they said it was very easy to put on and ran into no trouble. Took about an hour and a half to take off the old system and put the new one on, it was nice out so I told him to take his time with it, BSed with him, so I'm sure without the interuptions it would of been no longer than an hour. Sound is subject, but I like it and it doesn't sound like a rice burner. I was actually suprised by the volume, I thought it would of been alot quieter. If you are turned off to this exhaust because you think it will be too quiet, trust me it won't be. I have no had it dynoed, however my butt dyno feels an increase in low end torque and much more power midrange. Overall I am very happy with the exhaust. And to those people who say it doesn't line up right, you are eather looking at a hasty install or you need your eyes checked because mine came out fine.

-Edit- Forgot to say I have had 0 issues with clearence. I have had no scraping or rubbing and I've been over some sketchy roads. Also by driveway is very steep and unless I come in and off at an extreme angle my front spoiler scrapes every time. I was concerned that this exhaust would do the the same and no matter how I come in and off it hasn't touched. I was pleasently suprised.

It is now July 3, 2010, and I have had this exhaust installed for 3 months. I must say this exhaust is excellent. Now that the exhaust has had time to really break in the tone is not much louder then stock, however it does have a much deeper, exhaust note. It sounds sexy, not tinny or anything of the sort.

Glad you were able to get that hideous dealer sticker off. I would have wigged if I saw that on the car I bought!

Now ditch the dealer license plate holder and you're good to go!
