So you saying the Ark GRiP Catback Exhaust is not loud enough? Does it have a deep sound or raspy?

Been considering getting an F-sport exhaust but also thinking of the Ark exhaust since the price isn't too far from each other. Curious as to why you say it's not loud enough.

If you want loud, blaring, and look at me i'm still a high school racer fun factor, then Ark will work. The F Sport has a good deep tone, that is mellow and subdued driving around locally. When you punch it has a good scream, but not overbearing..

I should rephrase that. it's loud, but I'd like more of an Invidia type of sound

^ ark is already a full catback. It replaces the midpipe.

To the OP, get some headers if you want more sound.

Around the same price you get a full catback ARK system vs. just an axleback F sport

Have you heard your car from the outside while someone else drives it? Try that out if you haven't it might change your mind.

Inside the car isn't going to sound as loud since we tried our best to reduce in cabin drone + the sound deadening of your car.
