Now I have the 2015 3.8 R-Spec (the seats are amazing):
The JunBL was fantastic on my 2.0T.
I've watched many videos of the ARK GRiP and ARK DT-S and JunBL.
I wanted to get some feedback from you all who actually own one and your experience with them. If you've owned more than one of those and could compare, that would be even better.
Keep in mind Ark is hit or miss with he quality. I've heard fantastic things about the welds, but have also heard horror stories about the quality of the exhausts. Just beware.
I've never once heard a bad story about the quality of an Ark Exhaust. The only thing negative I've ever heard about anything Ark Exhaust related is that a few people had flange holes not line up easily and had to work with a little bit. Also the Grip V1 hung a little low so Ark redesigned it to sit higher and now results in less scraping.
Please do me a favor and link any threads or articles where someone has an actual problem with an Ark Exhausts quality or functionality.
ARK is just a little tougher to line up the tail pipes... it's best done with 3 people and a hoist: 1 person bolting it up, 1 person holding each part in the right spot, and 1 cheerleader to make sure the exhaust tips on the passenger side look fine
I have heard almost every system on the market today and it's always a surprise that I keep coming back to the Ark System for my 3.8
Without a doubt it is the best sounding, highest quality, system available today. The JUN BL system is good as well and I would consider them comparable, but I still favor the sound of the Ark Grip.
Now with that being said, I personally have the Ark Grip on my 13 3.8 R-Spec. Downpipes, H Pipe, and Catback. I've gotten compliments from 4 police officers (who have given me tickets non exhaust related) and from owner ranging from a McLaren P1 to an Audi TTRS that thought I was a ferrari when I passed him at high speed (He only heard me didn't see me and we can obviously debate his legitimacy, lol)
