Ark Performance Grip exhaust review! :) ss/sc

1st thought of the exhaust after installation was it looks really good in quality and on the car. Only complaint I had when I 1st saw it was that it stuck out kinda far but that was just cuz i wasnt used to it yet. Its like when u try sumthing new u have to find sumthing wrong to have sumthing wrong to say but in the end its really nothing. Now performance and sound..man oh man i have nvr heard a cobalt sound so solid and smooth be4 ever. This exhaust killed on the sound cuz this was exactly wat i was looking for. I didnt want a super loud exhaust or raspy. This exhaust gives none of that. Its solid and can get loud but not to the point where its annoying and u can hear ur supercharger whine real nice. And performance I feel a nice smooth jump at about 5200 rpm and above. But it feels soo smooth riding its crzy. Its like a stock car with great performance and sound.

Now this is my thought after having the exhaust for 2 weeks. Nothing has changed except for the fact that i got used to the exhuast sticking out..its not bad at all..I love it. So my review for this exhaust is a 10. If u like a solid sound with nice performance and a good look then this is the one 2 get! Now sum peeps might not like the exhaust cuz the end tip is arched but i love that. It gives it the unique look. To each their own. Ark Performance has the vids so hopefully they post them up. I got sum pix enjoy!







oh yea and btw dealing wit Sean and the rest of them was coo as hell..they are coo peeps haha.

because i have the same exhaust as yours, already went to BAR to get it decibel tested, its 3 points from passing sound.

sean is not the baws though, ted is. they pretty much stop all the cobalt since its a poor market to be getting in. they went back to kdm/jdm.
