Anyone have ARK/HKS with AK V2 Diffuser

Like the title says, I'm curious if the autokits-x v2 diffuser would cover up the canisters. If anyone can chime in or even better, with pics, it'll be great

I had the Ark with the AK V2 Diffuser and it didn't cover up the canisters. Let me see if I can find a pic and post it up.

No adjusting of the exhaust necessary. The diffuser just slapped right on. When the HKS was on, it had already left a little space between it and the valence. The diffuser got rid of it.

First off, sorry to revive a dead thread, but I have a quick question that I am hoping someone could help me with.

I too bought the Ark exhaust and the Autokits V2. I went to install it today and noticed my tips were touching the diffuser. Did anyone else have this same problem? And is there anything I can do to adjust this? Maybe heat up the hangers and bend them a little?

Thanks in advance for your help!

I flipped the hangars. Used left on right side and right side on left. Can only get two of the three bolts in though. But it def. helped.

You can also add 2-3 washers per bolt... I had to adjust my Tanabe that way... like putting Spacers in and done... costs about $1.50 at home depot... loosen all the bolts put the washers on the top part of the Bracket to give it space and tighten easy fix...

Thanks for the reply. When adding the washers, are you talking about adding them to where the hanger mounts to the car?

You add the washers to the bracket which the rubber piece hangs off of.
Take off the bracket, place in washers, put bracket back on.
Now the rubber piece and consequently your exhaust hanger hangs lower.
