If I have to explain why that's not good, forget I said anything.

kinda like litespeed's

or mines

hp loss would be negligible. probably cleans up sound a little would be my guess

like it would make that big of a difference.......if any

edub370 · 06-21-2013, 04:30 PM

on a 400+hp boosted car maybe. but on our car, not much if any

edub370 · 06-24-2013, 09:17 AM

o wow. so i just noticed, this exhaust isn't "Ark" it's "Ark Design". completely different company.... hmm.....

Well that explains why Ark didn't release these on the forums

Almost seems like a grey market thing.

As a fellow forum user put so eloquently to me in a PM. "Metal is Metal".

I don't like the design of the X pipe (as I said) but ultimately, it's tubing, and it appears to be stainless steel, so go for it, get it modified if you want it changed, you'll still come out ahead.

edub370 · 06-24-2013, 12:48 PM

they have a no questions asked return policy. so how bad could it be lol

synolimit · 06-24-2013, 02:59 PM

No thanks. I'm happy with my true dual, real x pipe, no resonators needed, $425 CBE.

Seems shady using someone's name and charging that price.

Lol exactly. $774 more than others is a bit extreme.

Dumb that the Litespeed Titanium Y-pipe is better design then the SS version....Would make sense to make them the same.....The one you posted in the Titanium y-pipe which is $900.....The one that comes with the SS system or if you purchase the SS Y-pipe you get this thing....

stewarts2008 · 06-24-2013, 07:24 PM

im just not a fan of spending over 1k to get an exhaust of any kind that necks down into a y pipe.....

Looks like a full 2.5" dual CBE to me.

That would be every single exhaust on the market... save for fi.

all an X, Y, or H pipe do is momentarily equalize exhaust pressures in order to increase the scavanging effect. should theoratically improve hp and engine effeciency.

There are several exhausts that don't transition via a Y pipe...

These are just the easy ones I found..
