New ARK Exhaust Arrived today!!

ydg27g · 02-15-2012, 10:10 PM

So I recieved my new exhaust today and when I unboxed it I was VERY surprised!! Please see pics below and let me know your thoughts, I'm on the fence as to if I like them or not. I love the burnt look, but it almost looks like too much with the mufflers being burnt as well!?!?

Flushnismo · 02-15-2012, 10:12 PM

I think it looks sick

TheOtherRob · 02-15-2012, 10:14 PM

I think it will look good once it's installed.

I didn't know the mufflers should be that way for the 370z. I just got burnt tips. One of my tips is burnt on the inside and the other one isn't. Ark told me to (1), leave it that way and eventually they both will be black (2) pay to ship it back to them (3), buy a polishing wheel for my drill and do the work myself. Real nice of them, good luck if you don't like the way they are.

I think the blue will look better with my Z being bue as well, no intentions of returning them either. unfortunantly I'm leaving town this weekend and won't be able to intall them for another 2 weeks. But at least then the rest of my parts will be in.

Congrats, looks good. Now time for videos.

This is why I don't even go to their website... if it hasn't been fitment issues its been subtle quality issues for years already? It has been poor customer service... I follow them on both Z and gencoupe forums... the exhaust tips are almost always uneven in looks and workmanship. The tips is what everyone sees. $1200 for a imperfect exhaust that they don't want to fix unless you pay hundreds in shipping AGAIN! Hahaha....
You should get a refund and see Tony.

Couldn't agree more... Go Fast Intensions, it will be perfect.

looks perfect my man

that's how the $2k amuse exhaust is burnt as well

370Z JT · 02-15-2012, 11:31 PM

Damn I want that look for the Motordyne exhaust.

Is it full titanium or stainless steel?

wdkwang · 02-15-2012, 11:39 PM

i believe its stainless steel for about $1k

alcheng · 02-15-2012, 11:50 PM

Look forward to hear the sound of it!!

ydg27g · 02-16-2012, 12:00 AM

Yeah I believe they are SS. Thier websight has the grip 2 on sale for $1189, these are the Grip 2V2s but I paid the same including shipping through Tunerz_store here on the forum.

Vince · 02-16-2012, 12:21 AM

Once it's installed, you won't really be able to see the mufflers...

alcheng · 02-16-2012, 12:21 AM

Will the burnt mark on the muffler be easily seen after they are mounted?? If not, why bother with them, but yes, the whole system looks Great!!!!
