Another Ark DT-S Review

[t0mmyd]

Ok so this is my first review and my first exhaust.... so sorry if i sound like a noob... cause i am. Im also going to try and provide a review for my experience with ft86speedfactory. So lets start with them:

FT86speedfactory.com.... what can i say about them except the fact that they are amazing. If you want excellent customer service and a fast way to get your products i would definitely suggest you to go to them. I placed an order for my Ark DT-S and received it within a week. shipping was real fast and they were very friendly to talk to. I also order a Beatsonic Sharkfin which unfortunately did not arrived as the tracking confirmation said it did. apparently it was shipped to the wrong address. i contacted Jeremy from FT86speedfactory and he immediately sent me a new one, no questions asked and it too arrived very fast. Overall they are a great source to go to for your needs and very professional. Thanks again FT86speedfactory.

Ok onto the exhaust...

Looks:
Ark did an amazing job with this exhaust. the packaging was very good too. after unwrapping this thing i was just amazed by their design. I also was given a whole bunch of goodies from them. I really like the burnt tips on since my car is a GBS.

Install:
Easy. 1 hour and 30 minutes. and when i say easy.... its real easy. This was my first exhaust install and i found it to be extremely simple. i used this from the DIY section and it was pretty much all i needed as for instructions.

I didnt run into any problems, like i said ark did an amazing job and things just fit perfectly.

Sound:
See for yourself and watch the video!
In my opinion i absolutely LOVE it. It has that real deep tone to it and not that loud raspy stuff. When driving normal the exhaust sounds very deep and stays very comfortable for your ears. The music can still be heard clearly. You want louder? just punch it and you'll get that. Overall i am very happy with the sound from this exhaust. I spend lots of time watch videos and debating but in the end, i have no regrets.

Performance:
Im sorry i cant really comment on this, well at least yet. I just finished installing it today and have not really driven it enough to notice a change. But i will update as soon as i can.

Overall:
YOU GET WHAT YOU PAID FOR! and yes this exhaust is pricey, but like i said, i have no regrets and am very satisfied. Definitely a great buy. if you are in the bay area (san jose) and would like to check out this exhaust so you can make a decision, feel free to pm me id be willing to show it.

I hope i help out some people in shopping around for an exhaust... if not im sorry this review sucked... i'll be posting a drive by video and a in-cabin video sometime soon, so come back and check it out. If you have any questions feel free to ask.

Thanks!

Same here! Just got this exhaust last Friday and it sounds amazing. The deep tone of the exhaust is what makes it sound so good! I am so glad I picked out this exhaust after debating on what exhaust to get for four months! Also, was to lazy to make a review about this exhaust.

working on it. I posted one video up there ^ ..... but i dont know how to embed the video player...

im working on some more clips like in cabin, and drive bys. i just recorded a in cabin video but the gopro was chattering and making a lot of noise so it was a very bad video, i try and redo it. I'll keep this updated when i finish with some more videos.
