I just got the ark today and when it started up it sounded great from the outside just like the videos. Then i went inside and drove it...
Way too loud... is this normal because it hasnt settled yet? Every time it hits 2k rpm it sounds like an airplane inside the cabin.
Cruising on the free way is the loudest because the car cruises at 2k rpm on normal mode, invoking the loudest notes of the exhaust.
Another thing i noticed about this exhaust is if you had no rattles before or very little ones, you will get rattles now. The whole care vibrates as the exhaust resonates within the car.

Ark where to order?
Hey all, been shopping around for axle back for my 2014 lexus is250 awd and I think I want in on the ark. Hoping others from gta can share where they got theirs from and how much ?
Thanks all!
Thanks all!

I'm in the same situation but for 3IS 350 AWD. After F-sport intake install the car lost character. I'm undecided and keep on going between Joe Z and Ark axle back. Don't want full catback due to possible drone and not looking for HP gain at this point. Need something that is deep but not loud, almost stock below 3000RPM but has a nice deep rumble(not loud from a mile just noticeable from up close) in higher RMPs. If I can get it in the GTA area that would be a bonus but driving out to Niagara Falls NY to pick it up would not be a big deal either.

Yeah... i think im going to get f sport drop in filter.
I will get all the performance of f sport intake while getting to keep my lovely lfa inspired sound generator. I also will save 250 bucks.
I might need some nice f sport decals or something to slap on the intake box lol.
