Default Just bought an ARK Grip Exhaust!

I decided to attend the ARK Performance meet today where I was able to see some awesome cars. I've been going back on forth on an FI versus ARK exhaust, but I finally made a decision when ARK offered a 45% discount PLUS free installation to all attendees!

That being an offer I could not pass up, I purchased my exhaust and scheduled installation for 7/5. I'm super excited about this. I've owned several sports cars, but never added a performance exhaust. Besides, the ARK exhaust is simply beautiful and those burnt tips are

I liked the NISMO exhaust, but I really wanted something a little louder (not a lot louder) and meaner sounding. I've never heard this exhaust in person, so I'm hoping I made a good choice. I can't tell you how badly I want it to be 7/5!!! I'll post pics, possibly video once it's installed.

(if you're interested, I posted my NISMO exhaust for sale

You will not be disappointed, I loved my grip exhaust on my 09. I heard a lot of different exhausts and IMO the Ark sounds better than any other exhaust I've heard. The quality is excellent and the car will be more responsive. Before I sold my 370Z I removed the exhaust (another member here bought it) and I could tell the difference in response. I am not sure whether there are any power gains but the car did drive a bit smoother/more responsive.

Congrats on the purchase. The ARK is def. a little louder and meaner than Nismo. Both sound good, though.

Thank you all!

Well, I couldn't wait until the 5th... can you blame me? So I scheduled install for tomorrow. All I have to do is get from LAX to Chino 1.5hrs... not an easy task, but 1:15pm, hopefully traffic will light.

Ark Grip you're mine

does anyone know where I can get a great price on the Ark Grip. Can't obviously guarantee something like op, but I'd love to find a great price
