ARK GRIP Exhaust Review Pics Sound Clip
 
4 Attachment(s)
Well, i bought this exhaust from someone on the forum, and I must say I'm in love with it. Install was very easy, everything lined up, and no rattle whatsoever from the cross member (common issue people have had with ARK).

Installation:
Like I said, fairly straight forward, just hand tighten everything first, then jack up the X pipe and start tightening bolts from the Cats towards the muffler. I have about 3/4 inch of clearance.

Sound:
I like it a lot. Could be a little louder, however i like LOUD. Sounds great though, and I've gotten a lot of positive comments on it.

Looks:
By far my favorite aspect of this exhaust is how bada$$ it looks. Also, alignment was PERFECT. look for yourself

Performance:
Probably all placebo, car feels like its going faster only because it sounds so much nicer. Will have it dyno'd and tuned soon.

I apologize for the horrifc quality (i used a phone for all of this). I don't own a camera, however for some reason my GF has like a $400 one i bought here but never seems to be around when i need car stuff....

Econ, Does your passsenger side canister sit 1/2" lower than the driver side? It's hard to tell in the pictures?

yea about a 1/2" maybe less

I have OCD. and i only notice it if im far away from the car. Doesn't look bad at all, and up close (within a couple of feet) you can't notice.

That looks very similar to the HKS exhaust from the back at least. Can you tell me what the two canisters coming off before the mufflers in the rear are? I assume they are some type of resonator. The HKS has them too. Been wondering.

a lot of detail here, and they can do a much better job explaining it.
