looks and sounds great but gun shy buying anything ark again. I had a dt-s for my 12 is350 and had cracks all over next to the welds and some really poor quality stainless.

I got offered a reduced local promotional rate direct from ARK but ended up passing b/c the welds killed it for me. It makes the exhaust look cheap and poorly built. Like they couldn't source a mandrel bender to build their exhausts and had to go with pie cuts? If it was a $500 exhaust, fine, but not a $1,000+ exhaust. Also the video clips made the R sound like a weed-wacker.

Also the original promotional video with the purple CTR has a downpipe installed. The sound that exhaust makes in the video is not true to what you are getting if you are planning to run a stock downpipe.
