So I purchased an ARK exhaust through The Science of Speed. I think the price was real good and the construction seems excellent. The fit is near perfect. I managed to get it on with no scraps in about 2.5 hours with no help. Here is my question. I find it to be pretty darn loud. My biggest issue is with 1700-2500 RPM, there is a pretty loud low resonance in the cabin. I questioned at first if I got the system tight and double checked the seal points but don't see any blackening inferring a leak. I also did not notice any leak type noises while under the car with someone else tapping the gas. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I'm only about 100 miles into the pipes at current. I intend to run them for at least 500 before I make a decision as to whether or not to put the stock pipes back on; I hear the sound will change in the early stages. I just feel it sounds a bit like a Toyota Corola with a trash can size pipe sticking out the back melting the real bumper. I hate to cheapen this car like that; but stock is way to docile.I've also video taped all the before and after which I'll post when I figure out how to transfer it to a mpeg. Trying to do my part on that end.
