Like I said before, HKS has its original design however we reinforced every flaw that HKS has. EVEN the tips. We were the first to introduce the adjustable Ti Tip. All Resonators/chambers have very own technology inside it and we added the x-pipe because it flows better than the H-pipe.

I said what I said because after all the changes made, its a whole new system that we created. This is where innovation beings. Everything is built upon what is already available to us and we make it better. I hope that you can understand where I am coming from. I give credit to where it is deserved.

It seems like alot of the companies are slipping in the quality department, and that is why we up'd our quality to set the standard for xtreme performance

Why bag on the exhaust? Accept the fact that it's unique, it may look similar but it's clearly not HKS.
The build process is completely different, it has different technology, consists of an x pipe, is affordable, and is overall probably a better system.

What's there to complain about?

Agreed. I would buy this over the HKS any day.

Artistic pictures can make even the most whack *** parts look sweet... Not saying this is whack, but its all about how it actually fits/works on the car.

Im waiting to see pics of this thing installed and some sound clips before I make my judgement.

I can't agree with you more. To see a product in person is something totally different. You have to be able to pick up the exhaust and touch it to really appreciate the work put into a product.

Note: This goes to all the other products out there whether it maybe intakes, coilovers, or exhausts

Alex.

Sound of ARK GRIP V.1 system
remember this is the V.1. We up'd everything on the V2 so once we get our dyno vid for the V2 we will upload it right away.

It won't fit the HKS. You can come here and check out our exhaust. If you need HKS silencers why not go to a HKS dealer and get one from them. Im sure they have some laying around.

Alex,

Thanks for letting me know. I tried but they don't have one for that design. I might take you on that offer. What is your schedule like on the weekdays? Do you open on the weekend?

No We just got our 350z 2 days ago. Right when we got it, We put on our coilovers and exhaust. Starting next week we will be stripping everything down to get it time attack ready. The time attack build will be our next big project for the 350z community.

Personal Note: I was driving the Z in the video. I noticed that the seats where more comfortable and that torque, I just couldn't get enough of it. Made me want to Supercharge the S.

Your exhaust was shipped. You should have gotten an automated tracking # sent directly to the email address provided. If not, I will forward it to you first thing tomorrow morning

i got it, thanks.

alex and ARK get a from me. Ive dealt with huge warehouse autoparts dealers and with local shops, but you guys run a smooth operation, no backorder, no BS..love it.

It should look nice with the bumper rolled up to expose the dual resonators.
