CNT Racing exhaust vs Ark Grip Exhaust
 
I have a bit of a dilemma between the two exhausts. I have a great price on the Ark Grip that makes it hard to pass up but as you all know the CNT exhaust is much cheaper. Ive read the negative reviews about Ark's install problems and scraping issues, CNT has mostly all positive reviews. Both are very similar set ups, so I really cant decide, I like the cosmetic appearance of the Ark. But I'm leaning towards CNT...

i LOVE my cnt. probably the best bang for the buck system out there IMO. and like u said, u cant beat the price of this exhuast.

great quality, great cusomer service, great fitment. and as for sound, i've gotten tons of compliments on this system paired with the test pipes i have

I'm leaning towards their cbe & tp. Your the only one that has a video of that set up for CNT. Do you have any more videos of your car?

Also how much is your car lowered and what's the clearance like? I live in PA which is known for the worst roads.

i can get another vid this weekend if that would help since i will have the z out.

right now my car is lowered 1" on swifts. have never hit the mufflers or any exhaust conponenets on the ground, so i wouldnt worry at all about that. now the front chin spoiler is another issue.

Thanks edub, I'll prob have my exhaust ordered within the next 24hrs but sure if you want to make videos your more than welcome. There are not enough videos of the CNT exhaust

edub370 08-14-2012 11:27 AM

good deal. I might try and get a fly by vid or 2 this weekend with the gf's assistance

I just got an ARK around July 4. I absolutley love it. Great looks, and high quality sound. Its got a nice low burbley growl that turns in a higher pitched wail at high revs.

I have had no bad experience with either fitment or scraping. My impression is that those issues were with their earlier models, and that ARK have made changes which resolved those problems.

That is exactly what we did. We want to make sure that all comments and suggestions are taken into serious consideration.

Same here, ordered my Ark DT-S exhaust around the 4th of July. Fast shipping, top notch craftsmanship with no fitment issues. Nothing but positive things to say about Ark

I was about to order the cnt exhaust when a used ark came up. The ark sounds absolutely incredible. It is definitely the best mod I've done to my car so far.

Love my ARK exhaust. Sounds beautiful, never get tired of hearing it.

Might want to look at the Exotic Speed cat back also, Very few of us have it.. Not sure why. :/

edub370 08-22-2012 03:00 PM

probably because its a completely different style of exhaust. more comprable to invidia.

Explain? Comprable to invidia? How it's a true dual with a X pipe, Isnt that what ARK is or just came out with. Just IMO the best one out there, Sound is GREAT and has NO DROAN, none man @ any RPM or MPH.
