My Journey down to ARK (X Coupe)

So on the 13th I drove from the Bay area down to SoCal (Montclair) about 450 miles to allow ARK to use my X Coupe to get the measurements for the AWD coupes. I stopped in quickly that day just to introduce myself and check out the shop.
The next morning I dropped my car off to ARK, grabbed a rental, and went to stay at my friends house in Rancho Cucamonga. On the 15th I stopped back in to check out the progress. Let me just say, Alex and the rest of the ARK crew are very meticulous and down right perfectionists. I felt bad for their welder for having to make so many adjustments for getting the prototype PERFECT! Once they had everything lined up how they wanted it, they fired my baby up. Needless to say I had to go change my drawers. If the boner police was there, I would've demanded a lawyer! I must say this is definitely the MOST sexiest sounding exhausts I have ever heard! If you ask Alex, I had the biggest smile on my face when they fired her up. I took some pictures but Alex threatened my life if I posted them (Kidding).
My whole experience with ARK right now couldn't have gone any better. Communication with them was a breeze whether that be calling them, PMs, or facebook posts. These guys are real professionals with a damn good product. I highly recommend getting this exhaust for any variation of the G.

Hey Tim,

Thanks for taking one for the team for the rest of us X Coupe guys. Glad to hear that I may have yet another choice for exhaust in the future for my G. Appreciate it man.

No seriously. This guy drove down from SF, a good 5 hour drive to help ARK and all the AWD coupe guys out.

Thanks again Tim

you guys should make "ART pipe" like test pipes with the same design as your mufflers for sedans and coupes and make them work for the x as well (motordyne doesnt want to) I would buy a pair and im sure 100000 other people would too.
