Theyre both great, ARK exhaust is new so there is not too much people who have installed themhence the low number, how ever, it truly sounds great, both systems are awesome. I only voted SOLO because ive had them on for a year and have 0 regrets, nothing but happy here. Im sure those who have the ARK set up will say the same.
Not sure of the price differences though

I compared and I went Solo.
I passed a lot of time comparing and I went for Solo. First the no drone technology is very important and the looks is just great. I have the kit in my garage, quality is superior, weight is low (45 pounds or so) and the price includes shipping. $899.00 shipped. I ordered mine on a friday and they where delivered on tuesday....

this was my first choice untill i saw the ark and kinda liked it i was woundering what other people thought about it. Solo seems to have less rasp in the higher rpms

Rolling along...

Did/does Solo need to redesign the cat-back for the 'vert? I know some of the first V8 guys ran into problems trying to put exhaust kits designed for the coupe onto the 'vert due to the extra bracing underneath.

I will be finding out this week (I hope). The solo exhaust is a 2.5" system. The V8 system he was trying to put on was a 3" system. I have already talked to the guys at solo and will be going out to Buffalo if it becomes an issue.

i've got the ARK and i LOVE IT! the sound is amazing, nice low rumble and loud. not gonna lie, there is some drone from it though, so if that is a concern of yours then J pipes might be the way to go. i have no regrets putting the ARK on mine.

I have the ARK and love it. I personally thought it was a bit quiet at 1st, but wife and son say no way. I really like the deep throaty exhaust tone. It also has the decel rumble, I seemed to have lost when I had put on the KN aircharger. I think its a great price as well for full Cat back exhaust system.
Edit- don't know about the Solo system, but do like my ARK set up. |

Don't have either, but the MRT is a very nice exhaust
But between Solo and Ark, I listened to some vids, and I like Ark's sound better . |

If I got this right isn't the Ark DTS is more subtle than the slant tips?
