Hey everyone,
I've searched and was not able to find much information on this. I should be getting my ARK exhaust end of this week or beginning of next week. I plan on running PPE headers down the line and was wondering if anyone here was running that setup. If not, has anyone done a resonator delete on their ARK exhaust?
Thank you!

ARK with resonator delete should sound very nice and make it decently loud. Wondering myself if anyone has done it. I plan next spring on going with Invidia full catback and I will do a resonator delete on it as well.

Congrats on finally deciding on an exhaust - I know you've been back and forth with Invidia and ARK for the longest time and I'm glad you're pulling the trigger. I believe the ARK has two sets of resonators (the standard and the Helmholtz near the mufflers) so I'm going to assume the drone isn't too bad after resonator delete! I'll keep everyone updated with it as Josh should be shipping it out this week. Maybe I'll install this weekend or early next week.

Yeah, I have seen those resonators near the muffler. Always wondered what they were. Now I know they are resonators. Thanks.Originally Posted by Lammyyy

My car is about to go into hibernation so I will have to wait until spring 2019 to purchase and install the full catback. Right now, it is looking like Invidia since it has the exotic-like tone/pitch to it. I think ARK has similar noise quality. Both of them are not as loud as Borla exhaust, but I think resonator delete can make it louder, if needed. Borla noise is much louder, but a bit more on the muscle-car like side, which is not my cup of tea.

GET the ark. Better quality and sounds high pitched with 0 drone.Originally Posted by 05RollaXRS

Yeah, ARK is great and I really like the sound quality of it. I think Invidia is an awesome deal for the price. I really like its sound as well and people I have spoken with seem to be very happy with it. Originally Posted by Spam89

You are switching from Borla to ARK Grip?

That is a great choice. Can you make some videos of it once you have it installed? No good quality videos for the ARK.Originally Posted by SoSlow

Lammyyy....I'll going to let you do this before I do hahaha. The way the ARK is made it is super easy to do a res delete.

Haha for sure. Let me see how loud it is first! I think I'm swamped this weekend so maybe an install in a week or two. Did your exhaust settle into a slightly different tone or no?
