It said it was an Ark design, not really that it was an Ark product. But yeah, like most, I wouldn't trust eBay parts on my car.. unless it was some plastic shi..

Im assuming you bought an ARK Performance exhaust. The OP is talking about some ebay brand called Ark Design. Different companies. Congrats on the exhaust though. ARK Performance makes some nice products

Just wanted to add to this post and clear up some misinformation about the "real ARK" and some "EBAY POS" company.

Ark design is a JDM company. Having seen the Ark design exhaust for the frs firsthand over the weekend, the welds and fitment are JDM quality but are reasonably priced. Their exhaust systems are manufactured in Taiwan and sent to Japan for quality control. They re-launched their US operations this year and it doesn't look like they are making anything for the G37 sedan or coupe. From what I understand, they don't have a dealer network and their product is sold/marketed through the US office. Having owned the "real ARK" GRIP exhaust, I dispute the claim that it's a real nice system. Although I didn't experience the same issues that WPR posted, the fitment is less than ideal. The exhaust cans were lopsided on my sedan which made for some ugly *** pictures from the rear and a lot of rubbing when going over speedbumps.

Here's the Ark design website: ARK DESIGN

I have ARK CBE on my 08 G37S and absolutely love the sound. Difference is night and day from stock to ARK. You will love the sound.

LOL I didn't even realize op been talking about an ARK DESIGN exhaust. I swore it been ARK PERFORMANCE LOL.... Gotta love eBay man. You want a decent exhaust for cheap? Buy Invidia exhaust. $900. Got money to blow then get fast intentions CBE, ARK GRIP CBE, or Motordyne e370.
