Ark Exhaust Opinions.
What are your thoughts on the Ark Exhaust, because I'm planning to invest in one. Also I'm debating whether I should install the exhaust system myself or have a mechanic do it for me. If I were to install it myself, is it self explanatory?In addition does anyone currently run the Ark Exhaust on their 2014 Lexus Is250? If so please give me feedback, because I would love to hear what your thoughts are on the exhaust.

I think the 250 does not sound right and has a raspy sound with the ARK exhaust (at least this is my judgment based on youtube videos). The 350 sounds great.
The exhaust can easily be installed by someone with a few tools and strength (installed it on my wife's car a couple months ago). These tools include an O2 removal tool, a full ratchet/wrench set, a breaker bar, some anti-seize, jackstands, beer, and about 4-5 hours of your time to do it slowly and do it right.

Bought my Ark exhaust for $1553 during their september sale from Jm auto racing free shipping. Think it would've been the same if i bought from car id cause of shipping. Took mine to a local shop only costed 100$ and about 1hr and 30mins. Only problem i have with the exhaust is the drone when driving my family members lol.

I bought my ark exhaust from CAR id a while ago. I had it installed im not good with my hands it was easier just to pay someone. It sounds awesome i have the 350. Ive never heard the Joe Z full catback in person i kinda wish i would have but im content with the ark system. I have been hearing this rattle/thumping when going over a bump not sure if the exhaust hitting on body just started happening after like 6 months with it installed. It was pretty cool i live in California so i pay taxes on everything. CAR id didnt charge me taxes or shipping.

I'm planning on getting the ARK exhaust also. Install shouldn't be that bad. Pretty straight forward, but then again, I used to be a mechanic.
I've seen it on sale before from ARK for that price a few times already this year. Just check back with them periodically and see if they dropped the price.

Can anyone please post pictures on their car with the ARK exhaust mounted? Would love to see how it looks:3 Videos on youtube don't really give a great shot of how the exhaust looks, it mostly shows how the exhaust sounds like, so I would highly appreciate it!

It's pretty easy if you can use basic tools. I'm sure there are some DIY on here if you search. If would give it a 1, probably easier than puting ikea furniture together. Nothing can really go wrong...
