Installed my new ARK exhaust!

Andddd WOW! .. I'm posting this thread, because I think an exhaust is one of the most important mods of the car. I did a lot of research before I purchased an exhaust for my G .You name it I looked @ em' Stillen, Invidia, HKS, Megan racing, Hi flow cats, full exhaust, axle back, cat back, etc.. And if your like me, even when you think you made the right decision your still skeptical on how the exhaust is going to sound because its not like you can 'test out' an exhaust online.(besides watching youtube videos,and making your best assumption about them) lol. But hearing one in person obv. Justifies the purchase the little more. Lol.
I live in New England and you kind of have to purchase what you see online. You end up reading these forums and got guys that swear by there HKS's, and Swear by their Stillens, or Hi flow cats or what have you. But on here you also read the horror stories with guys or gals who end up paying ridiculous amount of money for a full exhaust, cats and all. And then their nice sexy G is RICED out with a $hity RASPY'd sound coming from the back of their car. (If that’s not a nightmare I dont know what is)
Anyway In the end I did buy an Ark Cat Back Dual Grip Exhaust. A simple exhaust to install, and a reasonably priced. I paid 1350 off Ebay. The sound literally makes you think the g37 comes with a V8!! IT’S WORTH EVERY CENT! You also have the option to go with the burnt tips or without. I have a black G and I think the burnt tips compliment the black G very nicely.
So I wrote this thread to let the optimistic exhaust buyer to go with an ARK exhaust! It will not let you down! (no I do not work for ARK or any other car company for that matter) I am just your average Joe who wants the best for his fellow G drivers!
AND YES YOU CAN TAKE MY WORD FOR IT!!

Glad you're loving your exhaust. We are actually trying to work through the details of the meet now, but keep checking that thread, as it will soon be updated with all the information you need. I look forward to meeting you...

How much clearance do you have on the lowest part of the exhaust and the ground? The bend looks pretty damn low, and on speedbumps, do you scrape?

I will take more pics this week, it was raining out all effn' day :/ @xcalibur.
I think yours is stamped 'GRIP' cause you got yours when the first released the exhaust huh? Once they started producing more I think they changed the stamp the 'ARK' @hispeed. And I will do WPPJR. I really hope there is nice weather for the meet. A 42 degree day with rain like yesterday will not be pleasant. lol...Thanx! @Wlmngton. Im not to sure on clearance, I will measure todayy. I know people who already have the exhaust installed have mentioned that the exhaust looks lower then it rlly is and that speed bumps have never been problem. (I just installed mine yestr. so I havent taken it over any speed bumps yet.) Will keep you updated@bingpwr
