ARK DT-S cat-back exhaust (install & review)

I worked out a sponsorship deal with ARK Performance to try out their DT-S catback exhaust system. It has 2.5" piping and runs two resonators into an X-pipe. I think it will sound pretty good on my car being twin turbo and catless. I really wanted to with the NT-2 since it had 2.75" piping but was afraid of the drone it might have.

One thing about this exhaust that is really cool is that the whole thing is fully polished stainless steel. Since I polished my new downpipes my exhaust will now be polished from turbo to tip! Oh and the burnt tips are pretty cool too.

It will be a couple to few weeks before I get my car put back together, then I will be able to do the install and review it and make some sound clips.

The exhaust got here yesterday and it was packed very well! Not a scratch on any of it.

Finally got the exhaust all bolted up and aligned. It all fit pretty good and was easy to install. These pics aren't the best but once I get the car up and running again I'll clean everything up and take some better pics.
