Apparently Ark says to use half an inch of washers to lower the brace and create clearance. Hopefully once I do that it cleans the sound up nicely.
That happened to me also. I loosened all the bolts in the exhaust n put a block of wood under the exhaust to raise it up off the crossmember then tightened the bolts. Then removed to block of wood. It didn't rattle after I did that. The washer mod iv heard of others doing and it seemed to work. Let me know how it turns out.

It doesn't rattle at all, it just transmits a ton of vibration/resonance into the cabin at low RPM. More than normal (ridden in a couple Grip V2 cars,) since it's like the exhaust is bolted directly to the car versus being isolated by the rubber hangers. I think once I get it to clear it will get rid of that solid connection and it will go back to just exhaust sound and not exhaust vibration + sound.

We did jack the center section up when we tightened the bolts but it ended up resting on the brace once we dropped the jack. Hopefully I can get it fixed today or tomorrow. It does sound really good, it's just a little annoying at the moment.

It's a pain getting it adjusted so it doesn't hit the crossmember. I know it took me a few try's to get it not to vibrate on mine. The block of wood trick worked for me when I pulled the wood out I had enough room to slide my finger under it.

BTDT. Hated the drone and the Ark has a much nicer high-rpm sound than the FI.

Your exhaust is so loud it killed your hearing so you don't know anymore.
