I haven't updated this thread as I have been on a bit of a hiatus, but I did just recently install an Ark Grip V2 CBE that I picked up used from forum and MAZOC member italy3541. He bought the exhaust from forum and MAZOC member MyKindaGuise. In total the exhaust had about 5600 miles on it, was in great condition, and I got a hell of a deal on it!

I'm VERY happy with the sound. It's deep down low with an exotic wail at mid-range and up top. It's loud when I want it, relatively quiet when I don't. Best of all... no drone at all at cruising speed. That's what I was worried about the most having had FI on my 2009... I didn't want to deal with drone again. Couldn't be happier with the end result.

I'll be getting some exhaust vids done in the next week or so and take some quality pics to update. :tup:

WOOT name drop!

I polished your pipes. :tup:

What did I tell you?! HKS style resonators for the win! How do you think I've been able to park under your deck for free all these years? ...nice and quiet until you open'er up! :tup:

nice thread man!!! I have to ask you.... do you still have the stock springs in your car? or you changed?

BTW I like the way that looks with the 20mm spacers all around:tup:

I still have the stock springs. Thought about lowering it but I can't with the roads I encounter on a daily basis. Heck I scrape in my driveway as it is!

:tup:

I love my Berk HFC/CBE combo - no drone, etc. either.

Curious to hear your exhaust.



And yes, scraping on everything stock height means no lowering for me either. :(

I remember that driveway :|

Do you remember that rape?

Sounds hot :yum:


On a serious note. I could tell from the pics. It looks amazing!

Really cant wait to hear it this weekend. I forget what a modest exhaust sounds like :|

Great!!!! in the pics looks lowered ;) but i think its the illusion of the spacers and you running hard on the curves loool!!! :tup:

I dont know what spacers buy now...:icon14: H&R 20mm F & 25mm R or 20mm all around

We'll actually have the ST this weekend since it can haul moar bbq stuffs. :icon17:

20mm all around is a good choice. I really don't think I will lower it... I scrape too much as it is.

Of course

BTW i want to lower my car but its my DD and the streets over here are not in the better conditions :(

That's the issue I have. My driveway angle is enough that I scrape at stock height. I scrape pulling into/out of the lot at my office. We have terrible construction everywhere that requires decent clearance... I just can't lower it.

I don't really care, though. It looks good when it's in action! :tup:

Pretty sure a gutted Z hatch will carry the same amount :stirthepot:

Oh well. Im a fan of the ST's.

here are the same bro!!! hahaha!!!! and thats true... on action looks lowered and perfect :tup:

Thanks for the advice bro!!! i think im going 20mm :bowrofl:

wuss

At the very least put some swifts on the blue b1tch....Attachment 74635

:iagree:

Swifts get things about right.

Otherwise, just do this:

:trollface:

I've been catching up on this thread and was going to recommend Ark over Invidia for your drone requirements and looks like you beat me to it!

So now, I'll follow everyone else and get Z1 spacers in 20mm for my 2013. lol

I'm still super jelly of your blue. I'm planning on joining the ZDayZ crew for 2014 so hopefully I can drool over it in person.

If i install spring im going to go that way!!!! Swift FTW:tup:

I concur! Swift springs!

Not gonna happen fellas! I scrape errrrwhere.

Plus I don't care all that much how the car looks when it's not doing work.

Though I might consider a 6" lift kit and knobby tires considering this car is used for outdoor activities.

Sounds like you're thinking of moving to Alberta!

Is the fishing good there?

We use the trucks to haul them onto shore....

The blue tips on blue look pretty good!

I still haven't done any video yet. I plan on doing a lot but need the time. Probably won't happen until Labor Day weekend.

looks great brother!!! but i think looks better on my car hahahahahha!!! just kidding :)

Finally got around to recording some videos. I haven't done an onboard yet but will soon... probably later today. For now, cold start + light revving (after the idle settles) and a couple light takeoffs.

Your exhaust makes a cool cicada kind of sound; music to me.

Added another with warm start.

My dad was hosing off our canoe during the making of these vids, so my exhaust also sounds like flowing water.

And for one of the many reasons why I don't want springs...

Ouch. Yea that driveway definitely isnt lowered car friendly.

Before anyone suggests it, those driveway curb bridges are outlawed by the HOA so that's not an option. Not that it really matters... I'm fine with the car as is.

F-ck HOA's.
