Default Ark Exhaust Owners

Hello team F squadron,

I'd like to ask the folks who have an Ark exhaust on their RC F if there is drone with your exhaust? I've read on several IS F forums about the drone from the Ark exhaust at about 2500-3K RPM, is there droning for the RC F's also?

I am relatively new to Houston, TX but haven't found a reliable person to install an aftermarket exhaust. Are there any shop recommendations in Houston, TX that others have used that are reputable to install the aftermarket exhaust? Thanks for your help.

Andy

There is cabin noise in low RPM because the tone is pretty deep. If you trying to drive casual in normal mode, it can be annoying at times. Driving in S+ solves it. It's not crazy, but enough to make my wife complain. I think this video is pretty accurate for how it sounds.

Hey,

Yes there is a little slight drone to it.

Contact us for pricing on the exhaust!

Ark is a great exhaust. If I had to choose another exhaust, I would get something better quality. My blue tips are unevenly faded, while the people who are associated with my purchase are playing dumb. Maybe a gt haus my next purchase 👌

Yeah, there's drone from 2.5-3k in non S+ modes. If you're in S+ all the time, you won't really notice it. It's an amazing sounding exhaust.

Sucks about Spam's exhaust as we got it around the same time - hope it gets sorted out. No issues so far and still shines granted we regularly wash and polish the exhaust tips

Here's a video of Barry and I with the exhaust doing some drive bys courtesy of our friend Kevin.

For Houston, I would suggest Autobahn Motorsports. Talk with Tommy, tell him Jeremiah from SuckerPunch sent you his way.
