Thanks for the great comments.

This is a 2.5 Inch. I have some other videos i have to make. That first video is just a teaser. Once the pricing is finalized, Our dealer on this forum will release the information to you right away.

If you guys have any other questions regarding this, please do not hesitate to ask. I know there are a couple of weekly meets in socal, we will start attending those as well so the local community can get a taste of whats coming.

I love the sound, deep down low and roaring up high! Just the way it should be!

But isn't the double canister an HKS trademark kind of thing?

The exhaust sounds beautiful, but I have come to learn no matter what exhaust you put on (except the crap invidia) or how much you pay for an exhaust they all sound within one or two sound tones of each other on this motor....

yes HKS did do it first, we give them credit for that. With that in mind, we refined all the things that we didnt like about HKS and built on top of it. The outcome is our very own system. Our exhaust systems are capable of handling forced induction with the use of our exhaust caps to ensure no cracks and leaks. We specifically double layered these high pressure areas and welded on top of the two layers instead of welding the edges like other companies. There is also some clearance issues. Every car has it specific OEM lines in which exhaust companies MUST follow in order to clear, the the under mounts, sway bars and utilize the stock hangers so there is only so many ways we can make the exhaust flow with the best outcome.

Bottom line is, we didn't just replicate the exhaust, thats what x02 did and offered it at a cheap price, but the people who did get them got what they paid for. Rust issues, Tip issues, and fitment issues.

ARK simply made the exhaust better. We just can't justify, how they can put on a price tag that high from what you get with the HKS exhaust. Nowadays, exhaust companies are lowering their quality to maintain profit during these hard time. We took this chance to UP our quality and are always trying to bring something new to the table (our Tips , CAPS, x-pipe, and flange design).

I know know there are some HKS loyalist out there and I respect you guys for that. However, with the market still being slow we wanted to bring something better for the G37 community.

Some of our work











The tips are used for the EVO exhaust above. We made it so it fits both JDM and USDM bumper without cutting the bumper.

Will you offer an option to get this system without the burnt tips for those few of us who don't like them?

It sounds quite loud (from what I could hear over the wind noise). How loud (in dB) is it and does it drone at constant cruising speed? An interior sound level video while accelerating, WOT, and highway cruising speed would be great.
