My friend Barry and I tackled the exhaust install yesterday - sorry for the wait Josh

Install was straightforward but the quality of the exhaust is insane for the price. The exhaust sounds so much better than I thought. It's pretty loud outside and quiet inside the cabin along with no drone. When you want the exhaust to be there, it is and it sounds amazing.

Thanks again to Josh at Meraki for hooking it up with this awesome exhaust.

The C-West trunk lip clear coat was dull when I received it so I was referred to GarageWorks to get it cleared/polished. Linh absolutely KILLED it - it like a completely difference piece compared to what it was!

I installed it this weekend and it looks awesome. Some friends and I went out and did a little shooting/cinematics so maybe we'll have those posted soon.

Peep the LS swapped RX7 and the WRX who's roof we just wrapped. We're going to be lowering the white RC-F next week when we do his USRS install also!

The trunk lip is a subtle yet nice addition to the rear end.

Good choice! haha. Yes I'm going to get rid of it for sure. I don't see why Lexus didn't just go black chrome all the way around. It wouldn't be so bad then.

Love your car btw! Im using your build as a basis on what mods I should look into.

Your build is great so far Lammyyy! Can't wait to see the wheels.

The lower this car gets the better it looks... so while i've not always been huge on bags, its just amazing to see how clean an RCF is slammed.

Thanks brotha!

Yeah, our cars look so big when they aren't lowered! I ran coils on my previous car for over 8 years with no issues whatsoever. I was planning to get Ohlins or RR-Racing coils but I couldn't pass up on the fly height adjustment. After some research, I realized bags could be used for track/spirited driving also which sold it for me. They're given me no issues so far and they've been great!

I told everyone how good the ark sounds. I prefer the looks and sound overall all the exhaust I have heard. It is high pitch sound outside with a hint of deep tone, and the cabin is super quiet with 0 drone. Best sounding exhaust and can not wait how it sounds with pp el headers

There is already someone on Instagram named RCF805 who is running ARK + EL headers! I definitely plan on getting EL headers next year. I'll upload ARK clips soon - just need to get them from my buddy Barry.

As for my build, I'm waiting on my wheels but I'll be getting small stuff like the AOS/Heatshield from RRR in the meantime. Aero and headers soon after

I'll update this thread with some photos from the F cruise that some locals and I are doing this weekend. After that, the car will go into semi-hibernation for a while since my tires are almost shot and wheels won't be here til March/April.

Nice Lammy.
I have the ark exhaust and getting toms front lip kit only to balance out my carbon fiber wing. Also, getting coilovers and Tom front lip soon. Looking for great deals before I pull the gun.

how do you like my current setup? Any dislikes?

Looks good! Once you get coils it should sit just right. I would get the full Toms kit though because just the front lip makes it look like it's missing something.

Josh from Meraki usually has the best price so definitely contact him regarding that.
