Finally got the exhaust installed today. Great sound and looks great. Installation went smooth. Here are a few pics of how it looks. I do have video, but yet to come up with a way to get them on here. Will do it as soon as possible.

 

 

nice
lol was there a point in the first vid
i didnt hear anything...

any noticeable gains?
didnt know that this exhaust
is a bit tucked

 

Yeah, I realized that after I posted it..wrong clip..sorry

As for noticeable gains, I did actually notice it. I would love to get it dynoed to see actual results.

It is a bit tucked, but I like the look.

 

Here's the link to the another video on youtube...I have to get better videos, so this is just for now. Don't mind the talking, It was a long day...

When they said that this was made for the 350z I asked what method they used to make it fit the G35 and they said extension pipes. At that moment I knew the exhaust wouldn't fit properly and the tips would be tucked and these pics confirm it.

Other than that, it looks and sounds great.

 

Yeah, the way it is tucked did bother me a bit at first, but I don't mind it now. I like it, and it sounds great.

 

The tips are tucked and look like cheap imitation titanium burnt stainless

 

We wanted to give an alternative to the more expensive exhausts on the market w/o having to give up the quality of the exhaust. Making a separate exhaust from the 350Z and not using extension pipes would have made us need to design a completely new exhaust system. We do have real titanium tip slip ons available for this system for $120 for those who are interested. I would have thought that a moderator on this forum would have had a bit more sense than to flame a vendor so quickly.

 

Do you have any pics of the tips?

Still waiting to hear from you guys about the kickback offer!

Thanks

 

How is posting my opinion of the exhaust(positive or negative) flaming exactly? I've posted similar opinions on various exhausts available for the G

 

This ARK is the HKS clone but with a X pipe correct? It's probably cheaper to extend the pipes a touch than it would be to put a proper X pipe in the HKS or the X02 clone.

 

We felt that the X-pipe was a must for this true dual exhaust for have optimal exhaust flow. Extending the pipes a little would mean a completely different mid-pipe w/ different mufflers from teh 350z which would have greatly increased costs.

dude you're crazy for putting your car up on only 3 jackstands and crawling under it. you should really be using 4. The single stand in the back is dangerous, if the car were to shift slighly it could have fallen on you. Not to mention the jack in the front corner, that is super dangerous. you should never crawl under a car on a jack, I've had a jack slowly go down before. it's not meant to sustain a constant load like that, the seals will eventually leak and not hold the weight for a long period of time.

 

I did have more under the car properly when under it..that is just when we were finished and taking everything out, and I stoped to take pictures.
