Ark Performance exhaust/install pics
 

I got a chance to swing by Ark Performance couple of weeks ago to hang out and test fit their new line of exhausts for the frs & BRZ's.

Here's a few pics from the install. We tested out both the "Grip" and the new "DT-S" exhaust that will be released to the market soon!

I am currently running the DT-S prototype and the fitment, design, quality, and sound these exhausts are an awesome option to consider!

I will have sound clips up in a few days and Dyno results as soon as the final product arrives so stay tuned.

Onto the photos, courtesy of JDMzipties.com! Enjoy

Sound decibel testing

That's a cool looking exhaust!!!

wow.
stock wheels painted silver looks awesome.

99.1 db!!! wowieeee! i cant wait to hear this one! im tired of all these quiet exhausts lol

I too did test fitment with ARK and I loved the grip exhaust over the DTS. Both systems sound great and I cant wait to get the final product. I think you did test fitment on both systems using the test pipe right? Because I did fitment the day before on just the cat backs.

Yeah, right now im running the DT-S with the ARK Test pipe.

Looks restrictive with the thing there. Does it come with out that as well?

Thats there to take away the drown when cruising on the fwy. Theres not that annoying buzz when driving at a normal speed, unless you give it gas.

Any word on pricing and availability? I just bought the Takeda. I'm tired of waiting... especially if its for an exhaust that'll probably end up being $1,000+.

What was the difference between the grip and DTS??

Pretty much the same performance (well to what I noticed) but the grip was completely silent well it sat at idle. The DTS was way more aggressive and I was worried it would sound way too loud for my liking with the test pipe .

Different style axle backs. both use the same mid-pipes and both bolt up the same. DT-S sounds more aggressive but the "Grip" looks more aggressive. Power feels the same on both, and both have their own unique sounds.

Im hearing sometime late october but not 100% positive as their still making sure everything is up to spec before the release it. Sorry.

heres some comparison pics...
