Honestly, I was somewhat worried once it arrived that this exhaust might be too loud based on the looks alone. However, I was surprised to find that its sound level was acceptable to most ears in that at lower rpms it is not much louder than a traditional chambered exhaust system. Cruising speed noise levels were not that bad. What must also be considered is that this system is connected to a very high flow catted front pipe and equal length header. Those items alone add a bit of sound to any system.
The ARK Design exhaust system is a great lightweight option (roughly 19lbs) for anyone looking for a quality single exit performance cat back system. The fitment is perfect and the exhaust looks super aggressive on the car. I am really quite surprised this system isn’t seen more often installed on the BRZ/FR-S/GT86.
