I gor my ARK exhaust from you guys. You guys were great. The exhaust is awesome. Only thing that sucked was waiting for it. I wanted the polished tip so it took over a month to get. Thanks for not charging me tax i live in Ca ive never not paid for tax on anything.

I really like to buy the exhaust but...... First it's not street legal here but who cares
Second it's expensive. 1700$ + international shipping -250$ + tax = 2300$
I get an complete exhaust start at header with the sound it prefer for 1200€ (1350$). But that's not the Ark......

Thanks a lot for your feedback! ARK really did a great job on this exhaust. Sorry that you had to wait. We work directly with ARK Performance and exhaust system was shipped directly from the manufacturing facility, when it was ready. Feel free to contact me directly with any questions or inquires. Hope you will continue shopping with us in future!

How does this differ versus a cat back exhaust?

if you're asking the difference between a cat back and axel back the difference is that a cat back system includes the mid pipes that attach to the headers. it's usually bigger in diameter and less restrictive in air flow. the axel back exhaust is self explanatory. it attaches from the end of the stock mid pipe which is located by the rear axel.

Hey, i bought the RWD version for my 350 AWD and had to modify the driver side pipe. Im wondering if the version for the is AWD already released?

Is it possible to buy the one section which needs to get modified?
Other than that, i love the exhaust, it goes really well with the aFe cold air.

Thanks,
Simon

I was confused as to if this was a cat back and if it wasn't how it differs from one.
What I am understanding is that catback is synonymous with exhaust system?

the mid pipe is synonymous to the axel back to form a cat back system.

10hp at best would be pretty hard to feel. exhaust is mainly a noise thing and helps engine breathe a little better
