Ark Exhaust Installed w/Pics and some advice
My neighbor and I installed it last night in the garage, first time trying to do this so took a while, about 2 1/2 - 3 hours, had to do some adjustments today.
The left side like people say was hanging lower, but as you'll see in the pictures with 2 people, one adjusting height while other tightening bolts can get it about perfect.
Also the brace doesn't fit back on the middle without putting some washers for spacers, Ark said it's really not needed so ended up leaving it off and just putting the bolts back.
Had to go back and re-bolt also a 2nd time because I didn't use the washers correctly the first time...wahhh
It was supposed to be Big washer, insert, then big washer and finally little washer and nut for anyone that doesn't know in the future.
Loving the exhaust, sounds sooooo nice, videos on-line really don't do it justice, has such a nice base to it, and the look from behind is really unbeatable, I've already gotten many compliments on it.
I'll post a video of the sound later, not that you can't already find them, but still!
First a comparison picture, these first 2 pictures are before height adjustment.
Of course we have to have the full under-body, this was today, I took it to make the adjustments to the heights and fix the washer issue.
And finally after the height adjustment.

I haven't reset the ECU yet either since the install of the exhaust. I know most people say you don't get any gain from just installing the cat back, but feels like I got a nice little boost on the low range.
There's a thread on here somewhere with pics of the lights
Still waiting on my IPL bumper to be done painting, they said should be by Monday, once that's on going to have a photographer friend take some pics and will post up.

Here's a short clip from earlier taken with my iPad, again I had seen quite a few videos, the sound is nice in the video, but it's really something you have to hear and feel in person.
I'll try to do a 'Take Off' 'Drive By' Etc...later this weekend.
