Old exhaust, old cats all removed. Did not break a single bolt.
I will be installing the new HFC and new ARK exhaust in the morning.

Suggestion on removing bolts. Alot of the forum users use PB Blaster and still break bolts. I use a different product that I got from my companies metal shop. It's called Aero Kroil.
It can be bought a few places including amazon. I think it works better on old bolts. I think penetrates metals better than PB Blaster.

Amazon Link

Aero Kroil Info Website

I, in no way am trying to sell anything. Just one of the best products for tough bolts I have found and sharing the love to the forum.

Here are a few pics of what the can looks like.

Start from the back. Loosen the rear mufflers and have a friend hold it at the desired place and bolt it down.

There are 3 places where you should look to align our mufflers.
Tips
Dual Chamber necks
Flanges that connect to the mid pipes

Thats the plan this weekend. I had it all aligned on day one but I have a feeling that the bolts have loosened up over the first few runs. Car goes back on the lift this weekend to tighten any loose bolts and realign if needed.

I ordered one and installed it over the weekend. Pictures upcoming in my journal thread. Anyway I think I got an older version as I do not see anyway in a million years I will ever get the cans lined up properly, one currently sits lower than the other and the "ARK" logos are way off. I ordered a version 2 because I thought it overcame those things. Is it possible I got an older version instead of a V2 ?

Can you tell by looking at it if it's an old one, or do I just need to spend more time trying to adjust it ? By the time we got to the adjusting part we had been working on the thing all day long and I was cold and tired. It took forever to get the stock cats out and put Berk HFCs on, and had done a Typhoon first on top of that so it was a long day.

I LOVE the sound of the thing with the Berk...and the burnt tips are awesome. Just wish the damn thing lined up better.

Look at the flanges. There is a date stamp on them. It will tell you when it was built. Mine was 12/2011. So I would think that is a v2t2. If your trying to line it up by yourself you will never get it lined up. You need 2 people to this job. I also bought through FBNissan and was told it was directly shipped from ARK. I did not have issuses with mine when i got a second set of hands, but I was having tons of issuses when I was trying to do it by myself.

Looking at your pic the drivers side is low and twisted. If you correct that the logos should line up. The flanges of each 2 pieces should be flush all the way around before tightening the bolts. Start from back to front.

Thanks for the input. I remember looking at the date but I don't remember what the date was. I am pretty confident it is a new one and I have just done a crappy job of lining them up so will mess with it this weekend.

UPDATE: In fairness to ARK, I should post an after adjusting photo. Looks way better than it did ! I love the exhaust. Other photos also added in my journal thread.
