Default Retro Fitting ARK exhaust for AWD

Hello,

i was wondering if someone with the ARK GRIP exhaust, that has had it retrofitted for AWD, would be able to tell me how it was done.

I am interested in purchasing one, but need to know what work is involved in order to make it work for the AWD.

Thanks!

yes I know, but they never had anyone to test fit the pipe for production. after you went and did that, they still needed someone for a test fit. that was as of a couple months ago. JM has a group buy, feel free to read about it there...

You just have to do some slight modification welding work on the driver side y-pipe due to the transfer case is in the way. I just had it installed on my AWD this week.
