ARK performance Grip exhaust
 
7 Attachment(s)
Just got my ARK performance exhaust today and I'm loving it. The Grip system with the test pipe is a perfect neutral/aggressive system. Feels very smooth with some great performance gains. I feel the exhaust with my other upgrades amplify each other. For others who are in the market for an exhaust system I highly recommend this set up.

Also you should checkout their team ARK sticker its pretty cool and not too much money.

I'll try to post pictures tomorrow

sorry if the pictures are too large i dont know how to re-size them.

Don't think they have been shipped because I seen a stack of orders that need to be sent out. I helped ARK performance with R&D and been dealing with them direct.

bgibbsunc 11-07-2012 01:01 AM

Just got my exhaust and went straight to the shop. If your thinking about getting it stop thinking and just do it. Videos do it no justice. nicest deep roar I have heard on the FR-s yet

Propaganda 11-07-2012 06:42 AM

Mine supposedly shipped on Monday. Fedex still says the tracking number doesn't exist :iono:.... I'm just hoping a package will show up one day.

bgibbsunc 11-07-2012 07:54 AM

Good luck man it is going to surprise you when you get it on.

That's a lot of resonators. How is the volume?

I saw that too, I'm guessing very quiet?

xxscaxx 11-07-2012 12:14 PM

genesis forum but this explains the canister designs on the mufflers:

http://www.gencoupe.com/ark-performa...ed-detail.html

They are meant to reduce/eliminate drone at low RPM.

bgibbsunc 11-07-2012 12:15 PM

No 2 resonators and to silencers. Wot is amazing on the exhaust. Normal cruise has a mean sound. It is nearly silent at idle. But I think my favorite things are no rasp at all and no drone. Also you can beat the boxer while at idle. All I can really say is it is mean as hell

karne 11-07-2012 01:18 PM

Any vids or sound clips?

bgibbsunc 11-07-2012 02:55 PM

I have a video but it doesn't sound that good. Honestly the video that ark did doesn't even capture the true in Person sound. I would try to get with a local. Although there aren't many on the streets yet. Just dive in you won't regret it.

PLZdontscream 11-07-2012 04:54 PM

want a video!! Can't decide between this and the DTS. I haven't been able to find any sound clips of the DTS besides the 55 sec one on youtube....

I just purchased the DTS today and when it comes in next week I will get pics and videos up of it. I know there are some people out there already with this exhaust so I wish they would chime in, but I haven't seen anything yet.

bgibbsunc 11-08-2012 09:19 AM

Next up testpipe anyone that has the testpipe please chime in

Invalid 11-08-2012 12:10 PM

ARK has the testpipes for sale as well. I heard the exhaust on my friends Gencoupe. No drone at all and it sounds like a VQ. Perfect exhaust tone.

PLZdontscream 11-08-2012 04:40 PM

how do you say thank you. im getting pissed trying to figure it out

bgibbsunc 11-08-2012 04:59 PM

Hit the button that says thanks Lmao

IIRC, you need more than 10 posts before it appears.


Related news: my exhaust finally came in....but I won't be able to get it till tomorrow night since I'm out of state. :mad0260::cry:

Good news is that it took 4 days to arrive from CA-NJ.... after the hurricane ravaged the area and a blizzard yesterday. Big thanks to Jurrian at Modbargains.com for working with Ark on this and answering all my PMs and emails as quickly as possible. I can't wait till tomorrow night!

Test pipe on the grip exhaust sounds good I have it on mine now. Most people wont believe how quiet it is inside the car. Overall great sound great feeling and it looks pretty too lol
Must have IMO

OjiGeorge 11-08-2012 11:17 PM

How much is the test pipe actually going for? I remember the MSRP on the ARK site listing something crazy, like $400?

Coheed 11-08-2012 11:17 PM

that is effing beautiful

Did the testpipe change the sound of the exhaust?

The answer is yes and no. At idle and low speeds no the system is pretty low key but when you get on it then thats when the sound changes to a more aggressive tone.
