ARK HFC + Nismo exhaust review

tu_clean · 12-04-2012, 05:14 PM

Hi Guys/Gals,

I recently had the ARK HFC's installed alonside my exisiting stock nismo exhaust. I would like to thank Lerry and the team at ARK Performance for the great customer service and for allowing me to represent there product on my Nismo. I would also like to thank SpeedElement for there support on the install and Kevin Chow Photography for the videos and photos that are coming soon.

Here is my review:
Fit & Finish: HFC's where very shiny and easy on the eyes. They look so sexy

. Fitment was spot on.

Sound: The HFC's made the stock nismo exhaust sound a tad deeper and gave it more of a growl when rev'd above 3k rpm.

Driving Impressions/Butt Dyno

: OMG! Seriously I could feel the extra power and torque as I was shifting in the 3k to 5k range. There was no Rasp at all just a very very slight hiss upon deceleration. The Nismo feels way more responsive now. The difference was so noticeable from the stock cats to the ARK HFC's.

Final Thoughts: If you are wanting to add more HP/TQ while retaining the stock Nismo exhaust, then these ARK HFC's are the product you have been looking for. I definately would recommend this product

If you want the true power those HFC can give you, get a TRUE Dual Exhaust! The Nismo exhaust is not going to give you the best flow.
