I just got mine installed a few weeks ago. To me the sound is just amazing. Sometimes I drive around in second or third gear just for the hell of it. Got I love it!

I love that I can drive and be quiet when I want, but then open it up and listen to her sing the song of the Z

Congrats! I can't imagine anything other than ARK, I love mine, I've had it for about 6-7 months in my 2012 and I can't get enough of it. It makes the entire car better, it even shifts better, both up and down, the engine runs much smoother.

i swear i couldnt have chosen better. this by far is the best sounding exhaust for me. ive heard alot of exhaust sounds but this is just on a whole new level of beautiful noise haha

A little bit of exaggeration there...lol but it does makes the sound even more solid and less rasp at high revs.

The price is worth every cent.

Default ARK, Retune?

Do you have to have your engine retuned after installing the ARK ?

I do not think you "have to". I have not yet will be doing it after I do my CAI mod. When you put in a "good" cold air kit you could mess up you air/fuel ratios and lean out the car too much. You don't want that.

As with most cars, tuners can squeeze I few extra HP out of a stock. Is a few HP worth $500ish dollars for just an exhaust? Up to you really.

Heres a vid comparo if you have not heard it before
