It does not mount with most cat ba

cks properly because the dount gasket would not properly insert into the front pipe !. I do have a really minimal amount of leaking between the two parts but I'm going to suck it up considering its a cheap part. In addition to the fitment issues the material it's made out of is not that great too. The last issue was it moving around the frame and that was because the bolt that would hold the front pipe (the stock one ) was insufficient to do the job because of the way the J2 front pipe was designed, and I ended up using a longer bolt with a nut.

I only stated the negative issues just so you guys know what's up with it, but never the less it is a cheap investment thats worth the money

that donut gasket comes off... remove it and you can bolt it up with no leaks... good luck

Necroing a thread with a relevant question.
Has anyone ever tried this J2 exhaust?

Edit: Corrected the link. Sorry about that.

Bump. Still looking for help. I'm pretty sure this is a knockoff of an Ark Grip. Anyone ever heard one of these?

Edit: Never mind. The near useless search engine on the forum failed me but when I went out into the internet in general and searched it brought me back here to a review on exactly what I was looking for.

I have that exhaust. It sounds great but the fitting is slightly off. You can make it work but it isn't as easy as say the invidia n1

My two concerns are:
1) How loud is it when cruising through the neighborhood?
2) Drone on the highway? Do those Helmholtz resonators actually do anything?

I don't care if it gets loud when I stand on it, that's the price you pay.

jarednoel · 01-31-2015, 03:32 AM

It's loud but not as loud as the N1 and Berk muffler delete that I've had before. I also have the J2 front pipe which may contribute to how loud it is. The drone is still there, I don't think the hemholtz actually do anything. And if they do, there must be a lot of initial drone without em.
