ARK CB + ARK TEST PIPS! (first VQ to be fitted)

Hey everyone! so I just got back from the boys down at Ark. As always they took care of me! So the first time I met them I took my car in to get my brand new Ark CB installed with my MOTORDYNE test pips. I thought it would be a great set up! Heard nothing but good thinks about them. They are great pipes and are much quieter than normal. But with the Ark set up It sounded way to raspy and caused to much back pressure due to the resignated being to big. (Ark has some on the mufflers + the ones on the test pipes) I was almost ashamed to drive my car. After 3 days of driving I knew I needed them off....I called Ark and they hooked me up with there new set up! The quality is great and looks clean! has resignated chambers like the ART pipes but are smaller and work much more efficiently with the ARK CB. I love the new set up and sounds great....I have a little bit of rasp, but its manageable ( there test pips ) anyways! I will have some videos coming up soon VERY HAPPY WITH THE SET UP!!! P.S they will be selling them in the next couple of months and they have headers coming !!

How he got out of the car. Sounds decent, needs to be louder.

Too funny! ^^^ Exactly what I was thinking. As for sound what is that hiss/rattle? Need better video.

Sounds pretty raspy to me. I just read their BIG thread about these new HFC's and ARK emphatically claimed that these have no rasp/hiss. Ironically, I can clearly hear the same hiss/rasp you hear with most HFC's and that's not even at WOT. No approval here..
