Do you know if there is any possibility of them making one for the GSF? Otherwise it sounds like an RCF or IS500 version will have to be modified to fit. Any idea when these are going to be available? I am guessing you provided them with a donor car?

Bit of a weird request - are any of the valved exhausts quieter than stock when closed? I wake up pretty early for work and the 500 is quite loud on starts during the recent cold snap we’ve had. Would be great to keep it closed on side streets and then open it up when on the highway or more busy avenues/boulevards.

I have the RR Racing Bazooka. When closed it is NOT as quiet as stock. Close, but it is noticeably louder. I can leave the neighborhood pretty quietly if I stay at 20 or less. Even then it is not as quiet as stock. A whole lot of fun though.

Another thing too, idk about other valved systems but for the GTHaus, since it’s vacuum lined, after some time the valves always open up once the car is turned off if they were closed when you turned the car off. So even if you wanted to have em closed when you start, they’re open and you gotta quickly shut them when you start the car.

Just traded in the IS 500 and I now have a GT Haus GTS stainless Axleback with oval tips for sale in the Marketplace section. It was only on the car for 2 months.

Not a bad price too. If I was local I may consider it

Any clips of the sound? I'm still on the fence of what to do.....if I can avoid doing a mid-pipe I'd prefer that if I can get the right level of sound out of a catback.

Unfortunately I never had a chance to take video of the sound. I had the chance to get into a ZL1 and I jumped on it. The GT Haus sounds incredible without having drone.

If anyone is interested in Ark Performance they can preorder through us.

We will also be having an end of year sale on GTHAUS products soon.
