Ark Design RacingSPEC Exhaust Review - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

Liquid_Doji · 03-28-2017, 06:09 PM

Hey guys,

Haven't seen many vids or reviews of this exhaust yet and wanted to share with everyone my experience with the product so far.

The exhaust out of the box is absolutely beautiful. The craftsmanship and quality looks stunning (I know I'm a sucker for this). The exhaust is made of 304L grade stainless steel metal and all the welds are clean and done well.

Here's some pics to do it justice:

Moving onto sound, I've had this exhaust for a few weeks now and I'm quite impressed. The exhaust note is deep, not overbearing, and there is little to no drone! I can listen to music and having a normal conversation without raising my voice (windows closed) but if you want to let it rip, step on it and you'll definitely feel its presence.

I coudln't get any in-cabin clips cause of the ridiculous noise of my Federal RS-RR tires but hope that was sufficient for now. Will update better fly-bys when I have the time.

Overall...100% satisfied with this exhaust, will provide further updates down the line.

I got this same exhaust, bought it in September. Awesome exhaust, just as you said, its not over bearing and not too loud but still has a good low deep tone. Also the build quality is spot on.

This exhaust gives me a good starting point for the rest of the exhaust; frontpipe, overpipe, and headers. So it wont be crazy loud when I put those on.
