Best looking exhaust so far !

Finally something from ARK. This one doesn't sound as deep as the usual ARK setups but hopefully that is just the fact that they are on Photobucket and we are just hearing the badly compressed version. Any chance on getting a better upload?

RC gets a quad vs IS's dual. I'm disappointed a little bit lol.

Nice setup! I hope they make one for the RCF, ive always been a fan of ARK since my G37S Coupe

How much is it?

I called Ark today, and I was told it it might be around 2 grand. The guy wasn't sure though

Past experience says it will be $1600 to $1800. They usually have early adopter discounts if there is a group buy. I got one for my wife's FR-S discounted to $1200 when it launched.

From this picture it looks like it will be part of their DT-S line. Did they mention if they are developing a GRIP setup as well? I have always preferred the sound of the GRIP models.

Quality stuff! Wouldn't expect any less from Ark Performance

Well the mufflers they said was a new design instead of the smooth finish with the ark logo.
They told it me its the grip version so far. But they might have some more changes on to it.. The drone is okay at 2k and it gets pretty loud and sexy after it heheh.. I'll do a sound clip inside when I get a chance. Need to find my gopro lol. The goal for ark was to make it a loud and more aggressive pitch than the IS so its not as deep lol. But so far I love it!

This might help.. I'll post the other vid later

Sounds great so far, I look forward to the final product. That said I have two questions:

First do you have an intake installed as well? I'm asking because I hear a slight wine mostly on deceleration that seems like it is related to the intake and not the exhaust.

Second the scraping that is audible in the video you made from the interior, is that related to your drop or is that the exhaust scraping? I had scraping issues with an ARK exhaust on my G37 because it hung so low under the car that it would scrape on speed bumps or road imperfections (doesn't look like the case here). I've also had numerous cars that were lowered but never had issues with scrapes that loud unless I was making a U turn very quickly.

Thanks for your feedback by the way.

Stock intake still bro and I have no issues scraping yet. I'm still on stock height and the ground clearance is pretty good don't seem like it will hit anything that easily.. I'll make an interior vid soon . I'm not sure what your saying about scraping sound from the interior prolly iPhone 6 audio lol

Oh ok it must have been someone else's video then. At the end of your video YouTube recommended another video and thought it was yours it was also a white RC350 with an exhaust and was shot from the interior. I'll see if I can find it again.

EDIT: I found it. I was watching it at work and in a small window. It turns out it is a IS350 with an ARK exhaust. here is the video:
