Is that the system on e-Bay?? I think I would steer clear of them. I looked at their website, and they make all ricer exhausts. I would be afraid of making the 'Vette sound like a Celica!!!

For the money, buy a proven fit and finish system. $.02 deposited!!

Lots of good choices out there that Forum members have as their exhaust systems. Never seen this one come up. IMHO GHL - All The Way

Actually, ARK is what I have on my 04 Vert. It has mellow sound but yest loud enough on WOT. Quality is way better (IMO) then others that I saw. I think I was the first one to purchase from them. They have my Vette on their website. All in my opinion.

To tell you the truth, I have not heard GHL but heard some Borlas. This exhaust is little louder at idle and much ouder at WOT with deeper sound. As for the cabin noise go, I think all after market exhaust have some noise and this one is not an exception either. There are low toned noise at 1500-2000 rpm but not too much. Seems like it is little louder then my OEM exhaust but can't remember how my OEM sounded to tell the truth.. If you are looking for something to wake up your neighbors, this is not the one to get. Also, I've heard that sound gets much louder/deeper when you change headers. I haven't changed headers yet but I'm sure it will sound much nicer. To me, the mellow deep sound with great stainless steel look made it well worth the cost to me.

I got mine from Ebay seaching for exhaust system. First I had doubt about ARK brand, but WTH... My friend also got NSX Exhaust from ARK. And he loved. So I just trusted & gambled for something new. But I got it after I paid. The ARK shipping process was professional with all email reply. ( SERVICE is Excellent)

The product was excellent !! Great welding point & bending, and fitting was good... And sound even better than Borla Stinger ( My co-worker has one) But first after installed exhaust system had burning smell, but it is gone after few runs.... I do recommend ARK... 9.5/10

Nice to hear someone else has this on besides me... I haven't heard the Bolas yet but I'm satisfied with the sound it makes. Yes, they have superb customer service. I've checked out the business since it's not too far away. They are nice people to work with but too bad they don't have much Corvette product.
