It was already installed early in the morning. Sorry :|

Installation was done at a shop. Pretty easy with no fitment issues. Took less than an hour. Sound is amazing and can definetely feel more low end torque. Cant wait to dyno it. Lots of thanks to Ciocca Performance for the exhaust + shipping at a great price.

Fixed your broken image links for you, Alfredo.

So on the ARK, the piping after the cats go directly into an X-pipe? I didn't know that. And then two resonators immediately following. What are they? Looks like 18". That's nice, man. Really nice. Damnnnnnnn.

Tips are way too large for my taste, and I strongly dislike the burnt Ti look. Plus, the tips are recessed about 1" too far too back. Meh... nitpicking an otherwise awesome setup.

Video & sound, please, Alfredo. Come one, man.

Thanks for your help guys. I'm coming from an S2000 and test pipes were pretty much the best bang for buck mod (as far as N/A mods go). Will the exhaust really be that much louder though? I've tried searching up stock exhaust + test pipe videos on YouTube and I've only seen a handful of videos and none of them seem to be that much louder than stock. I did however notice a slight bit of rasp in most, if not all of the videos. As far as the smell goes, I don't believe I'll mind it too much. I usually ride around with the windows half way down anyways. I'm trying to find the most efficient mods for this platform as far as bolt-ons go. I'm sure 300whp is achievable with simple bolt-ons.

I'm with Rochester as far as the exhaust tips go. Is there anyway you could ask your shop to extend them a little bit? I don't think adding a little bit of piping would effect it too much. The diffuser's beautiful, but it's almost as if it's hiding the exhaust with how it sits right now.

On a more positive note, the quality of that exhaust looks awesome man! Really nice set-up! I'm looking forward to some videos of it soon!

Thanks. I posted from cellphone. No wifi for my laptop atm


Not sure about resonator size. As for the tips 1" back I dont really mind, haven't really noticed until you pointed it out.

I will get the video of sound lol

Test pipe alone wont be that much louder but with exhaust maybe a bit depending on the exhaust.

Hoping for close to 300whp with this exhaust, but it really depends on the dyno.

Oops. Sorry about that. It's like a bad habit.

Lol no worries. I appreciate constructive criticism. Still not minding that exhaust "gap".

As for the tips, here is a mediocre pic comparing oem to the ark's tip.

Found an old video of acceleration with windows up. Stillen gen 3 and FI RHFC in that video.

Did not upload before because its not the best video but its something.

Alfredo, do you have any exterior RHFC vids with the stock exhaust?

Trying to get a feel for the rasp reduction and overall volume. Thanks

The other remaining video is a cold start in an underground parking. Volume is very low and never experienced rasp even now with the ark catback.

Thanks man.. I assume you don't have an exterior vid with revs or drive off?

Glad you like the full set up by the way.

Yeah! Se ve de show! Dyno dyno!

How much did you have to wait for your FI RHFC after you placed your order?
