I don't have any recent ones. Here are pics and vids from when I installed it back in 2011 and when my car was OB.

That sounds fantastic. ARK is absolutely at the top of my list. Not so much those huge exhaust tips, but I can work around that. I wonder if you can order an ARK setup without the tips, and if they'd knock some off the final price since I'd be tossing them out anyway? Something for future-me to think.

I don't know if they'd do that. It depends what their manufacturing process is. They're certainly not going to cut the welds off an existing one, they might just leave it off at your request, but it'll be on a newly made one.

Yeah, depends entirely on how/who makes the kit. If all ARK does is spec the work, then no. But if they're a build shop too, then maybe.

I suppose it doesn't matter either way. Just thinking aloud (as it were).

Those big Helmholtz resonators at the cans really seem to make all the difference in tone, and look so unique, too. There's a deep "clapping" sound that's downright sexy.

From what I understand they do the spec work here in the states and then send it off to Korea for production. But I haven't really kept up with the company since I got the exhaust back in 2011 so things may be different these days.

looks and sounds great. Cant wait to get mine installed

the mufflers are also kinda big so you would have to replace the entire axleback

I had two 18" Michelin PSS rear tires, with less than 4000 miles on them, just sitting in the garage. Can't use them again, because of the new rims. So I sold them just now to someone on the forum for a fair price. Sure, it's money loss, but I really enjoyed having them last year, and there's a pretty good pay it forward feeling, so that more than makes up for it.

VOSSENs show up Thursday.

That's awesome man. Haven't bought my tires yet. I got a decent quote from Treaddepot for 4 tires 2-245/40/19s and 2-275/35/19s but I need to wait until my rims get back and I'm 100% sure they're good to go. Besides I live close to Tread Depot and Tire Racks distribution, so the wait will be negligible. My Swift springs should be here today!

Stopped by my local Infiniti dealer and saw a new Q50 sedan on Vossen wheels. Oh a $3995.00 upgrade for the wheels. SMH...

Sounds like a ripoff. I had to check your info to the left because I thought it was Atlantic Infiniti in Jacksonville, FL. I had a horrible experience there and from what I gather 4 out of 5 never go back. For me it's about attitude and convenience when I deal with a dealer. The Infinti of Orange Park (in Jacksonville too) treated me great. Some places only see the $$$$.

People are loving those Swift springs here on the forum. Excited much?

VOSSEN doesn't make or sell a $1000 wheel. That's not their target market.

Maybe the price included a modified suspension to match? That's the only thing that makes any sense, otherwise it's a transparent rip-off, and people should know. That's bad business.

Deelow

That is the same thought I had, matched suspension or something.
By the way..

probably a blatant rip-off. Nissan dealership in town used to charge $399 for nitrogen-filled tires and like $600 for tint on a 370z.

It's 4200 to upgrade an Audi to vossens at the Sewell Audi here in town. Lololol.

Oh it was a blatant rip-off. Not saying anything about Vossen wheels. More upset with the dealership scamming an extra $1500-$2k!
