Ark N2 cat-back exhaust

Does anyone have any information on this exhaust..

I was told they stopped making it?

Also would I see any performance gains with it over my stock exhaust?

What about backpressure?

unless you're going 3" or better on a NA 2.2L I wouldn't get hung up on this backpressure fiasco. as to gains it's gonna depend on your setup and whether or not you're tuned or getting tuned. search the threads there's quite a bit of info on exhuast systems. if you don't have a free flowing exhaust from the manifold/header back you won't gain much if anything with the ARK N2.

Yeah, eventually I play on getting a CAI, header and a DP, with a high-flow-cat.

..And I believe the Ark N2 is 2.5", correct me if I'm wrong.

not sure of the ark but most cobalt exhaust systems run 2.25" or 2.5". i'm pretty sure it would be the latter.

not sure but don't let that stop you. it's gonna sound sick anyway. yzrider has a ss/sc exhuast on his 2.2 (kinda tough but quite) and my corsa sport 2.5" blows his away on sound from low rpm on up. we both have full exhaust setups. i know it's comparing apples to oranges but the exhaust is gonna sound great regardless, just do it.

That link I put up is the only place I know of where you still can order this amazing exhaust.

I remember when I found like 7 websites that sold it.

Well... ARK Exhuast still in production, We just stop because, we're upgrading exhaust feature.
So, if you wait, you will see better exhaust made by ARK.

We have DT-S EXhaust system available now.

For some reason the DT-S just doesn't catch my eye like the N2 did.



Mainly, I hate the oval shape and love angled canisters.

hahha... First cobby rider impression was bad for the our N-II Exhuast because it is angled JDM Style. But now members love our ARK N-II...

Just be patience.... it is coming soon with new featured.

Thanks

I don't get it, lol.

I see the N-II on pre-order but what's so different about it from the old one?

Like what is the difference between these two..

Is it still the same size piping and can/tip size?

Will it still be angled?

And lastly, what are the improvements over the old one?
