What are your thoughts on the Ark Exhaust, because I'm planning to invest in one. Also I'm debating whether I should install the exhaust system myself or have a mechanic do it for me. If I were to install it myself, is it self explanatory?In addition does anyone currently run the Ark Exhaust on their 2014 Lexus Is250? If so please give me feedback, because I would love to hear what your thoughts are on the exhaust.
I think the 250 does not sound right and has a raspy sound with the ARK exhaust (at least this is my judgment based on youtube videos). The 350 sounds great.
The exhaust can easily be installed by someone with a few tools and strength (installed it on my wife's car a couple months ago). These tools include an O2 removal tool, a full ratchet/wrench set, a breaker bar, some anti-seize, jackstands, beer, and about 4-5 hours of your time to do it slowly and do it right.
I'm also looking at getting the ARK Exhaust. 3 weeks ago it was 1399 at CARID and a few other places now i cant seem to fins it any cheaper than 1699!!! WTF??? why did this go up 300 bucks in such a short time? i also bought it 3 weeks ago but bought a RR-Racing BBK instead.
1500+ is usually the going rate. If you don't mind used, I believe there may be one or two users selling their exhaust at a decent price. Check out the classified ads.

Yea, before it was 1.3k when I last checked. Maybe give it some time and the price will reduce again? Who knows.
@Swacer Do you mind sending me the videos?

I'm planning on getting the ARK exhaust also. Install shouldn't be that bad. Pretty straight forward, but then again, I used to be a mechanic.

I've seen it on sale before from ARK for that price a few times already this year. Just check back with them periodically and see if they dropped the price.
Bought my Ark exhaust for $1553 during their september sale from Jm auto racing free shipping. Think it would've been the same if i bought from car id cause of shipping. Took mine to a local shop only costed 100$ and about 1hr and 30mins. Only problem i have with the exhaust is the drone when driving my family members lol.
About 4 weeks I spoke with carid and they gave me a price of 1299 shipped but I was also inquiring about the RR-Racing BBK and got a great deal so ended up buy the BBK and passed on the exhaust. Man i wish I would of bought it then.. But the BBK looks great right now!!
I bought my ark exhaust from CAR id a while ago. I had it installed im not good with my hands it was easier just to pay someone. It sounds awesome i have the 350. Ive never heard the Joe Z full catback in person i kinda wish i would have but im content with the ark system. I have been hearing this rattle/thumping when going over a bump not sure if the exhaust hitting on body just started happening after like 6 months with it installed. It was pretty cool i live in California so i pay taxes on everything. CAR id didnt charge me taxes or shipping.

Haha nice, save a couple hundred for further mods :P. I'll probably wait it out until the price decreases since theirs no rush. I still can't decided whether I should I should do it myself and get experience or have a mechanic do it instead. Since you were a past mechanic how difficult would you say it is for someone who has never done it from a scale of 1-10?
Can anyone please post pictures on their car with the ARK exhaust mounted? Would love to see how it looks:3 Videos on youtube don't really give a great shot of how the exhaust looks, it mostly shows how the exhaust sounds like, so I would highly appreciate it!
It's pretty easy if you can use basic tools. I'm sure there are some DIY on here if you search. If would give it a 1, probably easier than puting ikea furniture together. Nothing can really go wrong...

I'm not sure a video would have much value for you as my wife has a 350.
