They're both great systems, Personally I favor the ARK N2 exhaust system over the Borla Exhaust. I say go for the ARK exhaust.

 

i <3 my DC sports exhaust

 

x2..................................

 

I've owned both, Boosted with both & have enjoyed both.

I traded my Borla for the N2 about a month ago for the simple fact that I wanted better flow for higher boost level. Borla would have done the job, but i would have wanted to customize it anyway. I actually have noticed a slight decrease in power from the swap to say the least.

Borla: (Overaxle)
Pros: Mid Volume, nice rumble, great wot sound especially with headers, good backpressure for S/C tibs. Great looking tips.
Cons: Cabin drone is loud, no doubt. Supercharging did reduce the drone however :3_yes:
Too Restrictive for Stage 3+/Assassin S/C or Turbo.

N2: (Underaxle)
Pros: Lovely flowing sound, smooth, nice idle, very exotic wot. Good flow for higher boosted tibs.
Cons: Overly loud when you don't want it to be. Fitment (Hangers may need adjustment), Tips are weak sauce.

youtube.com/iwbtib for some of my soundclips of both =)

 

mannnn- that means I have to get an ark n2. was gonna go with borla, but i must have missed this comment.. going for FI

 

apex'i exhaust ftw! then ark and borla

 

I'd say ark over borla. borla just doesn' t cut it for volume for me on the tib, nor the z. Honestly I'd do a single and call it a day, but thats just me

 

hmmm alll sound good when ya put it that way ill prob in future go sc sniper stage 2 i love the tibb but too much power on the front wheels isnt too much fun lol lookin to make 300whp 270 at least i know tib will do it thanx fellas

 

IWBs reviews pretty much sum it up. The only thing I would add though, is with the borla I find that when I'm driving late at night, or in my neighbourhood and trying to keep it down, its easy because I know where to keep my rpm for the exhuast to sound quiet/stockish, where as with the Ark, no matter where I was in the RPM range it waas loud as hell. I would say at their peak they are both equally loud.

 

I recently put borla on mine and i couldn't be happier! It made my CAI sound mean around the 5k RPM mark, underground parking sounds deadly as well. Go Borla!! (haven't had or heard ark tho so cant judge that)

 

anyone else got any reviews on the ark exhaust? is it really that loud compared to others and does it get annoying after awhile?

 

i heard ark yesturday very very loud lol from the back i think it was a i4 so yikes it sounded a lil ricey

 

should buy my mussa.

 

mussa? hmm never heard of it send a link of it or a vid...... i use to be a honda man ewww lol so im not in on all the parts/options just yet for the tibbys

 

here is like a 3 year old clip haha. Not to be bias, which i am, but mussa always had one of the best, if not the best, exhaust notes. Deep, aggressive, no drone.

sounds good bro lol like a dang race car lol about what were ur gains?

 

i dunno. It is gonna give about the same as others. 10-12hp. It has 2.5" piping, so you are good to go for forced induction

 

iight ill keep that in mind thanx bro

 

Don't forget with piping that big you lose torque though.

 

I have the ark n2 exhaust for over a year know and still love the sound of it. A couple times a cop was behind me and never got pulled over for being to loud and just shifted at 3k rpm to keep the car quiet. The car does get loud specially cruising on highway @ 3k rpm and full throttle. For long trips I usually put the silencer on to keep the sound stock because on long trip it does get loud and annoying for back passenger.

 

I'd better keep the silencers on most of the time. Just by looking at it anyone can make out how loud it can be. Stay away from the cops.

 

I would just turn the music up =]]
and don't usually have people in the backseat-lol
they hate it back there anyways
