colesl4w Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 (edited) Just putting up another video of the Ark Grip to help anyone who is thinking of getting one. I have to disagree with anyone who says this exhaust is quiet!!! This video was under about 70% throttle and going up to only about 4k rpm (engine wasn't fully heated up). It's louder still when hooning it!! No other sound-affecting mods fitted. Edited July 22, 2016 by colesl4w 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BobbyZ Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I'm not sure anyone ever said they were quiet exactly - just that they're not overtly antisocial like some other exhausts. I'm going through the Dartford tunnel tomorrow, so might try to grab a vid of the sound of mine in there Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was more that I've heard some prospective buyers worry that the exhaust would be too quiet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cro Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Sounds quiet to me Just kidding, sounds about the perfect mix for everyday use... for me anyway. I know some prefer it to be ridonculously loud Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colesl4w Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 It definitely is the perfect volume for daily driving. The best mod I've done to the car by far! Now to consider that bumper tuck... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASemper Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 So thats how I sound from the outside world 😠Haha but yes it definitely isnt quiet but I have never found it too loud for everyday driving!

We love our Ark systems and never become bored of hearing about them. You never know who you might inspire by that pic on the ramps!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ASemper Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 It was people recommending the ARK that helped me make my mind up 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
colesl4w Posted July 22, 2016 Author Share Posted July 22, 2016 Love mine, but I have bored everyone enough on here going on about it so will say no more. Impossible!! The day I get bored of a photo of an Ark Grip is a sad day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RS8055 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 I've heard a lot about it, but was forced to go the Invidia Gemini route due to TUV certification. Just wondering, how much louder is the ARK compared to the Gemini? (if it in fact is - as I've heard people saying that the Invidia is quiet) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyZ Posted July 23, 2016 Share Posted July 23, 2016 Sadly the Dartford tunnel video came out really badly, so not worth uploading It sounded great if you were there though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobbyZ Posted July 24, 2016 Share Posted July 24, 2016 Well they're adjustable... it's all down to personal preference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saying that I am still gonna go down the HFC (mayyyybe decat) route! https://vimeo.com/176018274 Well if you are looking to go down that route here is a vid of my zed with an Ark Grip and Invidia test pipes. They sound great with or without them to be honest 😠I forgot how mine sounded without them to be honest though.
