Sry unrelated to OP post..... but fuct u reminded me of a question ive wanted to ask a LONG TIME. Related to the answer u just gave. Awhile back we all know this car has a serious CSC /masterC problem. That being said not EVERYONE has had it. My question is, how do u drive ur z? Do u hold the clutch the whole time at a red light? Do u down shift on way to stops? Do u take it out of gear while stopped? Do u baby engage the clutch or fast shift? I honestly believe there is a 100% connection between some of these, and premature csc failure. Mainly for those who constantly hold the clutch down or stay in gear at stop lights, signs, and traffic. I did that in my 09 and it failed. Now i dont do that anymore and my 13 hasnt failed yet and im past my 09s miles.....so far so good? I try not to engage the clutch AT ALL until im ready to make the car move. And i used to baby the clutch a lot, now i try to make engagement as short as possible without being rough with it.

That F type was the reason i bought the ark DTS. No ****. It sounded MOST like it than any other aftermarket exhaust i could find. Its very VERY close but not quite the same.... but that POP POP gurgle gurlge grrrr noise on decel is almost spot on and i absolutely love it. 1 complaint though, it sounds 100% different inside the car than it does outside. Still deep, but it seems more like a single tone without individual exhaust puffs. But when you get behind it it sounds like a v8 with deep individual exhaust tones. Weird. But at least i get to hear it when in a tunnel or with the *** end parked against a building

U cant go by vids. Ive seen some exhaust vids and thought OMFG THAT SOUNDS LIKE 5HIT!! and then heard it irl and it sounds great. And others i thought sounded amazing in a video sound like rotten a55hole irl. I did a LOT of research before buying the ark, online and listening to G's and Z's people own irl. But its funny u mentioned the f type, that was my inspiring goal.
