Really wanted to handle the rasp issue and have a deeper, mellow tone. Hated the rasp from my 2001 Grand Prix GT.

to be honest I REALLY want the Meisterschaft mufflers. But I can almost build my whole system for that price.

Oh, well then congrats my friend, as you will have one of the best sounding setups there is for the V6 Not that we need em (since videos of that setup do exist) , but if you do decide to make videos we'd love to hear them.

I am still wanting to get this exhaust I wonder if it wound different with an automatic though.

Man I hope the ark n2 will sound good with LTs. Still can't find anyone near me with the set up.
If its not to my liking I will probably buy the DTS.

There are vids on the forum with that set up... and yes the guy had an auto.

Check the exhaust sticky its in there.

Does any one have a vid of LTs with the cut outs ?

Does anyone have the knowledge to make a comparison volume wise just cruising around town between the Ark DTS and an MRT V1? I tried the V1 and got burned by both drone and the loudness. I still want a nice sound outta my car though, just not one that sets off the neighbors car alarm. Anyone know which one is louder?

MRT V1 is louder and has more drone for sure.

ARK DTS is the quieter of their two exhaust systems for the V6. Without headers, it is fairly tame and smooth with limited drone. With headers, it adds a nice growl that otherwise is pretty smooth.

Thanks for the feedback. This might seem like a silly question, but I'm not sure how else to phrase it. Can the DTS be kept to a rather casual volume while cruising through town? The V1 felt like it was racing time, all the time! But for me I just want racing time, every now and then. Most of my time is either spent on the highway, which is why I can't stand drone, or cruising around the neighborhood.

Does anyone have an Ark DTS that lives in Maryland? I would love to hear it in person, if at all possible.

Yes, the dts is actually really quiet unless u step on it. I have a borla which is one of the quieter exhausts and I did it for the reasons u mentioned. I travel a lot so drone would've sucked for me but this exhaust is quiet when cruising and only gets loud at wide open throttle. The dts wil be the same way
