********(Same story if you already read it on classifieds)*******

Ok people. Can't get crazier than this!!! I am looking to Trade my ARK Grip V2 (~5 months old w/ 6000 miles on it) for Full FI CBE + FI HFC. I am willing to sell it too if I get my hands on either shockwave or FI. Price is set to $1100 plus shipping and paypal. The exhaust is 9/10 with small scrapes.. which you can't even see... still shines as good as new. Did I mention it's burnt tips? YES!!! sexaaay burnt tips... the exhaust is still on the car..

Here is the story:
As I mentioned before fell in love with ARK exhausts. They are GREAT!! Awesome sound. Loved it more everyday [ESPECIALLY under pass and in parking garages].. always drove windows rolled down (of course except when it rained.. LOL ) Unfortunately, a week ago I found out the left CAT was bad. Talked to the dealer, they won't replace it... SICK and Tired.. I decided to go buy me some ART pipes. Hopes "Everest" high.. went and installed it... GUESS WHAT?????? major RAAAASSSSSPPPPPP!!!!!! Took off the heat shield.. still rasp! It sounds amazing - the rasp. Can't just stand it anymore.

Conclusion,

I am looking to change my setup. There are few options:
1. Sell ART pipes - $425 plus shipping and PayPal
2. Trade ARTs for FI HFC ( If it's guaranteed not to RASP)
3. Sell ARK GRiP V2 - $1100 plus shipping and Paypal
4. Trade ARK for Motordyne Shockwave (we can work on a deal)
5. Trade ARK for FI CBE + FI RHFC (we can work on a deal)
6. Option 1 & 3 and buy FI HFC + FI CBE
7. Option 3 and buy Motordyne Shockwave

I know it's an essay but I really need to do this to be happy with the car.. losing interest .. but don't wanna part out my car.

Any help? What should I do???

 

Sell art pipes. Make most money back. Buy someone's used stock cats or find one from junkyard. You now are back to the exhaust you love. Simple.

 

I don't want the stock cats anymore. I'm tuned and all... so all its doing is blocking the flow

 

if you were tuned while you had the stock cats, youd probably need to get it retuned if switching to hfc/tp
stock cats are everywhere on the classifieds

 

U r right.. polly go this weekend to get it refined. I'm looking for specifically FI RHFC tho. That's the only one known to NOT rasp with ARK. That is if I decide to stay with ARK

 

keep the Ark's and look into new HFCs .. i believe this is the best option for you.
That way, u'll get the minimal rasp ( if any ) and is much easier for you.

 

Appreciate the suggestion. Hopefully something will pop up soon...

 

^ No problem .. you may wanna go for FI Resonated HFC
all the best ..
