Catback exhaust for the Vert??

Has ANYBODY managed to install a full catback exhaust in the G37 convertible?

So far I've seen Tanabe and Megan.... both axlebacks....

I'm most likely going to just order the ARK exhaust system and see what happens... but it'd be nice to have a little insight into any foreseeable problems instead of wasting a crap load of money like i did when i bought a set of kw coilovers only to discover they didn't fit...

and for anybody else that is familiar with the underside of the coupe AND convertible... are there any significant differences between our cars?? I can't imagine that they'd be that different right?


feedback is welcome

The ARK system will not fit our convertibles at tis time. Sucks, I know. They are looking for a convertible owner in the SoCal area to come by their shop so they can get a correct fit. I am holding out for their system to be completed. After reading some of the reviews on this forum, from folks that have the system, it seems like it will be worth the wait. I just hope it happens soon.

I ordered the ARK exhaust, for the coupe, for my convertible in Nov. 2010 and about an hour later the same day, I got a call back saying they did not want to sell it to me because it would not fit correctly. I was very appreciative because, they could have just sold it to me and it would have been my problem. That said alot about their integrity and the fact that they stand behind their product.The guy at ARK said they were working on a system for the convertible, however, they were going to complete the one for the X model before they started the convertible. Apparently, there is enough of a difference between the coupe and convertible. I haven't heard anything on the subject since.

I am the ruiner of dreams.. hahahaha. But yeah patience will pay off.

I mean it's only been just over a year I've been waiting for some vert specific and supported springs (calling out H&R) and for some vert specific and supported coil-overs.

they also sounds great Lee! that is a great choice for the vert, but WHEN the vert ARK exhaust comes out I'm positive it will be the choice to go with
