Why the ARK GRIP with Fully Polished Tips is the Best Exhaust!!

Team ARK Thank you so much for such an incredible exhaust!! You guys are awesome!!

ARK Exhaust Fully Polished Tips -

I have a 2010 Moonlight White G37S Coupe and this is the perfect car that offers luxury, performance, and design. While there are many exhausts offered for the coupe (FI, HKS, Stillen, Greddy, Invidia, etc.) I would like to share with the community about my experience and why ARK is the perfect exhaust!!

Before arriving to ARK's location, I could not decide whether I should choose the burnt tip or the fully polished tips. I think I went back and forth between the two more than you can imagine. When I got to ARK's warehouse I was greeted by such an enthusiastic, friendly, and professional staff. We first moved the car on to the lift to cool down, and then they showed me around the office and warehouse. Inside the warehouse the 2010 SEMA Genesis Coupe was parked. Oh man, that car looked amazing!! If you haven't seen photos of it look it up on Google images with keywords ARK SEMA Genesis Coupe.

Anyways, I asked to see both the burnt and fully polished tips. After a few minutes, I decided to go with the fully polished tips. I do like the burnt-tip look but with my age I wanted something that was simple with a clean look. So before they started on the install I carefully checked the complete exhaust system for any issues or defect. Immediately I was impressed with the quality. You can notice the immaculate welds, bending of pipes and how the exhaust is FULLY Polished. It's definitely worth every penny. "You get what you pay for."

Patiently waiting for about 40 min. I was excited to see and hear my new exhaust. When I saw my car on the lift, I was definitely super happy with my decision!! The fitment was perfect, can't complain at all. The flanges and gaskets met flush with each other for no leaks possible. I really liked ARK's design of the X-Flow pipe design meets the Y-Pipe. The view of the dual canisters with the fully polished tips were f*ckin sexy. For the sound and tone of the exhaust I describe it as exotic, classy, deep, aggressive, and smooth. Please take a look below at the pictures. They also took some video clips revving the car, some take offs and sound test from inside the car.

My final thoughts (one week later)-

ARK I absolutely love this exhaust!! The quality, sound, and the characteristics is absolutely amazing. I do feel a better pull from mid to upper top end range. And I love the fact that inside the car at low and high RPM's there is no drone whatsoever, but from the outside you have this aggressive exotic tone without any rasp or rattling noises. Team ARK thank you so much for a fantastic exhaust!! Yes, some of you may have a different opinion or preference, however, this is MY experience and why I believe the ARK is the best all around exhaust which includes performance, sound, and design. For those looking for an exhaust, you have to get this exhaust!!! You won't be disappointed!!

I got the polished tips too! I got the polished because i got the sedan.. and i think the burnt would probably look better on the coupe.
