YES. ARK Exhaust system is high quality system. We're very strong with NSX, Corvette, and Hyundai line products. We're mostly dealing with JDM manufactures making OEM label almost 15years. And there is great name brand exhaust system manufactures included.

No. both specs exhaust systems uses pipe CLAMP. Just for front pipe connection with CAT, rest pipe uses flanges. The reason we're cutting pipe after CAT is state EMISSION TEST, most US state requires cat. And it does prevent loud sound from exhaust system.

Here is quick review on ARK N2 exhaust system test running video clip.

The idle acceleration was 5RPM ~ 5000RPM max.

Video Clip: ARK N2 catback system.

ARK N2 system :













ARK DT- S System : DT-S designed for much quieter than N2 version. And for axle end rearview you can see beautiful canister mirror polished can in the middle of bumper centered. And DT-S also have double layer tip which give you better looks...

Well.. I think Injen & HKS has only axleback system. which means only muffler section. But ARK is CATBACK system. Which included Resonator , Middle pipe, And Axleback. And it is all 2.5" pipe T-304 stainless. It is big different system.

And we probably will start GB or Intro price sale once we're ready to produce.

Thanks
