He said they can't honor the October prices so I just bought a Magnaflow X, added that to my Flowmasters, all is good. I felt like, and I still do, if they could sell it for under $900 shipped in October, then they are just screwing me out of $200, 4 months later, and that was the "special C5" price. And let me add, the MSRP was the same in October as it was in Feb.
It is the resonated X that gets rid of the rasp, and you can get that for under $100. Magnaflows Part # 11386, you can get it at Summit racing amoung other places.
Don't get me wrong, the ARK is a very nice product but basically its a resonated x pipe with aftermarket mufflers, and bolt on polished piping. It is all beautiful where mine is kinda frankensteined but no-ones been under the car looking.

I think with the Magnaflow Res X pipe and the MRT 2, it would be a sound very very very close to the ARK DTS. It would not be as pretty tho; the magnaflow x needs to be welded to your existing pipes and they are not polished, but who is under your car looking???? Good luck with it.

here is a link to my youtube videos, I uploaded many with my exhaust as it was in progress. If you use headphones you can hear it pretty good. http://www.youtube.com/user/metthem88/videos

When you flip your car over and it's laying there upside down, no one will be impressed with your setup.
