Listed on my local Craigslist as an OEM exhaust for the G37, but it doesn't look stock to me. Priced at $150.

Definitely NOT OEM. Looks like an Ark Exhuast (which runs ~$1600 generally)

Also that exhuast looks like it's possibly for the coupe, not the sedan.

Pretty sure Ryan nailed it... that's the Ark Grip for the Coupe.

New, that's $1600. So $150 is sweet. Offer them $100, polish it up, and flip those pipes here in a FS thread.

Contacted the seller and should be meeting tomorrow. Meetup location is at an aftermarket parts store, so I'm pretty sure they would know the difference between aftermarket and stock. I hope the pictures provided in the Craigslist ad are the actual pics of the exhaust.

It looks like it's missing the tips though. Nice find

Still kinda curious about this exhaust. I originally thought it was ARK Grip on first sight because of the resonators.

However, I don't see the ARK logo on the axleback section. The y-pipe and mid-pipe have a different design than the ones on the product page on the ARK website. I also wasn't aware the ARK Grip system offered exchangeable, bolt-on tips, I thought only Motordyne did this.

Could it be an earlier model? Or a replica? Either way, $150 is an absolute steal. I don't want it to sound like I'm complaining.

could be an ebay special replica

That is 100% not an Ark but maybe a replica. But regardless it looks loud and worth 100-150$

What are you seeing to make that call? Curious.

All pics of Ark grip exhausts for coupes say Ark on the muffler

That's a good tell. However, the ARK badging is on the inner-facing side of each muffler, and in every one of those pictures, that side of each muffler is angled away from the camera. You could say the seller is clever enough to know that, but then why isn't he clever enough to clean the damn pipes?

Valid point, though. The ARK Grip does say ARK on the inner-facing side of each muffler.

I'm allllllllll ears as to what it is.

Spent quite some time on the internet to pinpoint what exhaust this is and I've found out what it is. It's a eBay exhaust for the 370Z. Take a look at the links below. Same mufflers. Has the same curvy-ness after the flex pipe and before the resonators on the y-pipe. Mid-pipes are a match as well. The mid-pipes are what really threw me off because they are so short compared to the mid-pipes on our Gs, both sedan and coupe.

Anyways, I ended up skipping out on the exhaust. Only reason I would've bought was to flip it so that I could get some more funds for my Motordyne. But, after finding out it was an 370Z exhaust, I wouldn't want to flip it to anyone here on MyG37 and falsely label it as an ARK Grip exhaust. And it doesn't even fit Gs, sedan or coupe. Good thing I spent the time to research this exhaust.

Welp, that was fun. Good for you figuring things out and making smart choices.

So... ebay knock off exhausts designed to look like the ARK Grip. That's amazing.
