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 go 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.

Yeah I'm ok with it not being loud as long as it sounds good.

Love the way they look, mine held up great through their first new england winter. Only real difference between the two is the added resonators on the DTS on the N-II it's just straight pipe to the x-pipe. It's almost like adding the magnaflow resonated x-pipe to an axle-back but the sound is 100x better.
