Do you have a video of it? I'd love to hear it and the setup you run.

Actually, that's what I was hoping for, since I'd like to hear it with just the catback. Please?

You won't be disappointed by the sound with that setup. The UEL makes it sound like a true boxer motor. Loud start is well loud, but it quiets down fairly quickly. When you step on it, you get a loud growl and the car sounds proper.

I am still waiting on the catted front pipe since they sent me the wrong one, but I have the stock fp on with that exact setup.

I've seen the one on ARK's website, but i'd much rather hear it from another person from their experience, only because it's always different hearing it.

If you don't mind. Otherwise, it's all good man!

ARK sent you a wrong front pipe or is it the JDL you're waiting on?

Nice! Sounds awesome. Can't wait to install my DT-S this weekend. Question, how low is the GRiP from the ground? It looks pretty low, but how is the ground clearance on that and are you at stock height? Also, did you install this yourself (if so, how long did it take you) or did you go to a shop?

Sorry for the questions, I rarely find anyone else with another ARK exhaust, so its nice to hear from someone else who has it. Plus, I'm trying to get tips for when I install mine over the weekend.

the Ark Grip is pretty low to the ground, but I'm also on ST coilovers and lowered 1.25", but the lowest part is right after the diff, and it moves up/down with the car, so if you drive over a speed bump or something, the low part of the exhaust goes up when the wheels go up over the bump...so it really shouldn't be an issue.

With that said, I've never scraped on a bump or anything like that-and I think the dts is even better when it comes to clearance.

I did install my self, jack stands and jack...anywhere from 30 minutes to 2 hours depending on how slow you go. Its pretty standard as far as exhaust goes for this car, about the same difficulty for all the catbacks!

Awesome! Thanks for that @Shutter. I was worried about the ground clearance of the GRIP and that's why I went for the DTS (also because it's a bit louder than the GRIP ). Especially here in NYC, the roads are just horrible during the Winter.

I'm doing the install myself (no prior knowledge) this weekend with jack and jack stands, so hopefully if I do it right, I'll be able to make it through with no problems. I wish there was a thorough install video or PDF file I could follow so I can match it though.
