I just got my ARK exhaust put on yesterday, and it was a bit louder than stock, but it's not terrible, and the note is pretty gangsta.... I think when the car is cold, on first start is when it's at it's loudest. Once it warms up, it quiets down a bit, and certain gears are louder than others, but having had aftermarket exhaust on every car I've owned in the last 15 years, or more,.... I'm used to it, so it doesn't bother me.

I definitely can tell the car drives differently, and so can some passengers who've ridden in it, when I showed it to them last night.

I'd say money well spent for a full exhaust system.

Nice man. What wheels are those...like size specs. They look concave.

Lol, I thought it was drastically louder than stock. Then again this was my first exhaust modification to a car. The cold starts are definitely the loudest though.

ARK needs to hurry up and make one for the AWD models.

Hey do you have the AWD version of this car? I am looking at vossens too but need to make sure the wheel diameter matches close to stock.

Also what offset for these wheels and how are you lowered? I dont want too much poke or any camber really....plus need to clear the big brakes up front..

I have RWD,.... RS-R springs, and it doesn't stick out much, if at all, and they clear the brakes.
