Just bought an ARK Performance exhaust and testpipe [Updated with Pics]..

Hey guys. I have been looking to pick this exhaust up for a while now but I never could really justify paying that much for a single tip exhaust unless it was full titanium. DSG Performance on the other site quoted me a little over $1100 for the exhaust and testpipe.. during their black Friday sale!!!

Anyway i was on eBay and saw that ARK had put several of their exhausts on there for CHEAP. I found the exhaust and testpipe for $799! I think they only have a few left so if you want to grab one type in "ark performance evo".

I'll update the thread with pics when I get the exhaust in.

UPDATE..
Just got the exhaust in this morning. Again, sorry for the crappy pics. I did the install and it went great. I.forgot to do pics during sunlight tho il prolly update later with more pics.

Just waiting for the "my dog can kick your dogs @$$" posts..

I would give their packing an 8.5/10 (1 being the parts flying around in the box and10 being an AMS downpipe strapped to a piece of wood.) Anyway, onto the pics..



Welds look good..


Only "shady thing"..


I dnt know what this strange object is. I dnt see this getting this much use..


Installed.. and ill update w better pics..

Yea its really them. No knockoffs here.

And this exhaust is pretty quiet and 799 includes the testpipe and all hardware too. This is exactly what I wanted for my DD. It was either this or ETS quiet exhaust and I went with the single exhaust.

The ARK sounds pretty nice and quiet. Can anyone comment on the build quality? Esp the welds.
