what about ARK DT-s any opinions??

tennisfreak · 04-17-2013, 10:27 AM

I chose Perrin non resonated.

I was looking at saving weight so I went with the Buddy Club Spec II. Plus I found it online for $412.00! Can't beat that! I had the same exhaust on my old R32 GTR and loved it.

I'll post pics and new video after its installed this weekend.

BTW: Just thought I would add... IMHO, Perrin and Nameless are the best all around catbacks out there!

Nameless, from Header to Tip, but you'll have to wait on the header. (Highest gains so far)

It's pretty hard to judge an exhaust sound through youtube videos so honestly you probably just have to ask around and see if you can hear any aftermarket frs/brz exhausts around you in person. Sound is pretty subjective and gains on any headerback exhausts are almost negligable. In terms of quality of craftsmanship though the popular ones will be good.

There are a lot of really good exhausts for this car already. Try to find some twin owners in your area to get a listen.

I'll put my vote in for MXP. I love mine. Great sound, never loud, priced competitively. I installed an ARK Grip last week. It was also very nice. Sounded deeper than my MXP but not louder. Both are quality pieces.

I installed my ARK Grip last week and I love it. It can be loud at cold startup (like every other exhaust is), but it quiets down. Sitting at idle you cannot tell you have an aftermarket exhaust. Sounds deep at throttle with no drone at highway speeds. Definitely a quality product, but a tad on the expensive side for just a catback. However I highly recommend it.

Greddy is on the loud side so you better reconsider about that. Magnaflow is light, on the quiet side, and has hp gains.

buddy club spec 2, i dont think anything beats it in weight and sound.

Hawk77FT · 04-17-2013, 08:00 PM

I like any (functional) Y set up. Better looks and flow. Agency Power apparently is s#ite, Invidia N1 i kinda like but it looks more like a T rather than Y and Greedy Evo3 looks like one I would like. However, I would go for 2.75" or 3" rather than 2.5. Better air flow.
Also SRT looks quite good too.

What's wrong with agency power?
Was looking at maybe purchasing.....

Well there are few unsatisfied customers here. The welding quality, they rust, etc. Look it up!

TheSlickOne17 · 04-17-2013, 11:34 PM

SMH.... Well isn't that just peachy!
