Default Ark exhaust. 2014 IS350 AWD F Sport. Amazing!

I got my Ark Exhaust in September and haven't posted since. Ended up getting it from Josh at Meraki Autoworks. Josh was amazing on his price, communication, and shipping!

Onto the exhaust. It costed me $130 to have a shop install it. They did a great job. Sound is amazing! I am 42 with 2 kids ages 2 and 4. No issues with drone at all. That was something i was concerned about with the kids. The sound is deep and clean sounding. I have received so many compliments on it.

Overall I am super satisfied. The car is even more fun to drive now. I cannot imagine it without the exhaust.

Hope all is well!

Exhaust is nice on gen3 IS350 Fsport, i used to hate Exhaust on Non-Turbo Supercharge car like Honda kids, it sounds funny because its i4 engine, but exhaust on gen IS350 is something different, i must agree with you, its not because its expensive one they all sounds similar in couple months, but the Gear setup in Sport+ mode is cool, it makes me Awake everyday on my way home from work.

Switch gear box to Manual, use Sport+ mode , get on freeway and enjoy !

Those are turbo cars that make those crackling sounds.
