Ark test pipes
 

I was just wondering if anybody has installed the ARK Testpipes on their Z and what their experience is. Or maybe ARK HFC? Im purchasing the ARK exhaust from a member here and wondering what compliments the exhaust best also what performance gains are to be expected. Thanx

Well I can't tell you much about just the exhaust but im at 293 whp mustang dyno with stillen gen 3 + Ark Grip.. Exhaust sounds quiet(er) than stock and a little louder under acceleration. i'm looking to add ARK HFC sometime in the future hoping to get over 300 whp and a little more growl out of the exhaust.

You sure you aren't thinking "ART Test Pipes" (motordyne)
I didnt think ARK made test pipes..

Check their webpage. 450Ish for tp and almost 600hfc.

Hey the pipes that go from the x pipe to the rear mufflers.....are the hanger rods supposed to be on top or bottom? I bought the exhaust used with no instructions.

Testpipes and HFC's are all good in stock here at ARK

Vet discount? If so I'm thinkin around christmas :-) merry christmas to me lol.

From what a lot of our customers notice, they said that the rasp from a resonated test pipe isn't that much less than a straight test pipe. Let me know if you need help with the ARK performance units or a straight pipe like Berk technology's, Both are great!

Cabin smell kept me away from straight pipes.

I seen on your site, it's only for manual tranny... anything for auto???

Since I have no idea, what exact smell are you referencing to?

I'm sporting the ark hfc's and can tell you that the smell is very minimal and the power difference vs stock was very noticeable. I say go for it.

Hfc's or tp's give off smell? Or both? And what is the smell that is beong referenced?

That's just the smell of performance and forgiveness...

HFC's don't smell, just TP's, its raw and unfiltered exhaust

Thanks for the heads up

pulled the trigger today. 715 installed at ark here in chino. Besides their dog cookie watching us like a armed security dog, the experience went quite well. The thing that i am disappointed with is the whistleing sound, does this ever go away or atleast disapate? I got a little bit of burnt metal smell but thats about it. The car does have a noticeable increase in LOW END TQ.

You mean the hissing on the off-throttle? Nah that's here to stay. It's a property of our VQ's that gets a lot more pronounced with test pipes.

bahumbug! oh well...i guess its someting i'm goin to have to get used to. :( but love the sound and performance that comes with it!!!

Here is the link to my teaser vid of the Ark grip exhaust with Ark hfc's. Couldnt find a clear vid on internet prior to purchasing. More to come!

The noise is very minimal and the smell will go away. Glad you like them:tup: now hit the road and enjoy:driving:

That's the smell of fear leaving the engine! That's what real cars smell like when you push the pedal down... ;-)
