Hey guys new here. I’ve owned a 2013 G Sedan for 2 years now and installed ARK exhaust today. Although I noticed my exhaust tips hanging lower than normal. Has anyone had this problem or know how to fix it? Much thanks in advance. My OCD is killing me.

Thay does seem like they are hanging low. Did you install them or a shop? I used to have ARK as well and it didn't hang that low .I know for Motordyne, depending how you install the pipes, it effects the end result of the tips location . Maybe that could be it?
To get an idea, here's my old thread after installing my ARK .it does not hang that low.
Yeah, that's not right. You're going to damage them somehow hanging like that. It's going to happen, just a matter of time. I'm sure just about any shop can correct the fitment for an hour of lift time.
The rubber hangers come in different lengths. Any exhaust shop should have a variety to choose from. Just get something shorter. If the problem is really bad, like over 1", you may need to just torch and rebend the metal hangers on the exhaust itself. Just a small example from Cusco. Ive seen adjustable ones as well.
So I contacted ARK and they told me to try swapping the mid-pipes maybe I had them on the wrong sides so I swapped them today and that seems to have fixed the issue! So for anyone in the future installing these yourself and run into this problem, swap the mid-pipes!
Yup. When I lower the car, this is the exhaust route I'll be going. It sounds like what the engine wants to sound like if that makes any sense. Basically, it's what I imagine it should sound like unadulterated.
Especially loved when the phone was right near the window. Maybe take a passenger with you next time so you can focus on driving though. :P
At first I feared that my cats would fail out of warranty, then I found this thread, embraced the dark side and now see it as an opportunity and I think that opportunity may soon be upon me. These cars sound good! Nice work ladies and gentleman. So I have 12x sedan and I'm split between Berks, Z1's and Fast Intentions, I'd like to stay with resonated HFC's rather then test pipes to keep things legal but my state doesn't have emissions testing, so if there are major benefits to the other I'm open. What are the thoughts on which is the most durable and the least likely to rasp? I may eventually upgrade the whole exhaust down the road but my budget is limited atm so I will t likely start with just the Y pipe and cats. Component quality, reliability and durability are all more important to me then hp/tq gains. I'd appreciate any thoughts on what route to go.

Haha. This guy gets it ^ Exactly my friend. Unadulterated, raw, free flowing. Haha yeah it was super sketchy. I admit, not the smartest move.
I have a 2013 G37xS 7AT...I can get a good deal on a Fast Intentions CBE that has the 12" resonators.
I have searched a ton of pages in this thread and can't find anything. I found clips with no resonators or the 18" resonators....but no 12" resonators.
Anyone running a FI CBE with 12" resonators? Just curious about drone...
Thanks!

Don't run them personally or have heard them in person, but heres a video I found . There's a few more you can find on YouTube .
Thanks...I checked out a few clips...They all sound nice....they all are essentially launches, etc.
I'm really searching for information/experiences with the FI CBE system with 12" resonators at cruising speed (70mph...2400 rpm, etc).
Wonder if there is a terrible drone at cruising speed, etc.
I guess I can always purchase it and see for myself....but was hoping for at least some data points before doing that :>)
OBX cat back exhaust for $33/month for 24 months??.....or ARK cat back for $65/24 months ?? opinions ?? .their very similar, but ARk is quality and sound...OBX seems to be a budget exhaust
