ARK Exhaust owners please chime in.
 
Hello all, i have spoken to a couple of you and have heard nothing but praises about this exhaust (thanks Fullmonty). But i am interested in a specific answer, actually a video. If possible can someone record what this exhaust sounds like in 6th gear freeway cruising, then dropping to 5th, then 4th, then acceleration. Windows up, and windows down. Im interested in truly hearing the tone of this exhaust when accelerating through the gears. If you have HFC's that would be a plus. thanks.

I'm on stock cats. I may be able to do this for you on Wednesday.

HATED1 09-06-2010 05:57 PM

thanks, any help would be appreciated.

Im in the same exact position as you hated. would greatly appreciate this video. ive heard theres absolutely no drone with this exhaust, is that true?

With the stock cats you will get a clean tone throughout the band.

Definition of drone may vary. Depending on the person, drone may be very minimal to none.

If you want to compare this exhaust to others currently out, this exhaust has no drone.

Alex-

Any updates yet?

honestly guys, this video is what will determine my decision in purchasing this exhaust. I love the BERK CBE but if ARK sounds just as good and exotic, i will go this route.
This is what im comparing it too for reference.

I'm on it tomorrow.

Working on the videos right now. I used a Canon point and shoot camera so they are not the greatest but you will get the idea.

With HFC's, the exhaust will obviously be a bit louder, but drone is minimal. Right around 2700-3k rpm, it is actually very quiet. On the down side, HFC's will make the car hiss alot on decel. This happens with just about every exhaust though, and is not unique to ARK.

If sound is more important to you than performance, you may want to avoid HFC's. Else, you can try FI's resonated cat pipes and see how well they work at controlling the hiss.
