Pretty much as expected. Love my ark exhaust, the resignator is almost bigger than the muffler.

Its a really good bang for the buck for a basemodel 2.2 or 2.4 . But on a lsj, BIG NO. IM actally very pleased with the quality for the price.

I bought this same exact "ebay exhaust" and I can't say enough positive things about. It sounds absolutely amazing and I really couldn't be happier with how it turned out. When I had my old exhaust off and my car was straight piped I started it up and revved it just out of curiosity and holy crap it sounded like a neon srt4!! Has anybody else ever noticed this with their car straight piped? I'm really considering just straight piping my car after this exhaust goes bad.
NOTE: The resonator was not on it of course since it is a part of the cat back system.

Mine didn't come with a silencer, not that it was going to stay in anyways, but still...

It also seems to be getting a little bit deeper tone to it since it's breaking in, or I'm going fawking deaf since it's loud as hell inside the car at WOT haha

Just to let you guys know, I brought my car with the same exhaust to a exhaust shop to switch out the ''resonator'' well we cut out the new ebay one to replace it, on closer inspection the resonator was hallow, it had nothing in it!!!!!!! So if you guys want to quit down the exhaust, go throw a resonator on it.

After 5 days, I couldn't stand how loud it was on my car, every single time I drove it all I got was a headache even trying to drive normal, at 55-65mph this exhaust drowns horrible! IT might be different on the base model, but if you do buy this exhaust ( good exhaust for the price ) spend a extra 30-40 bucks and get a resonator on it. With my stock resonator and the rest of the exhaust the same, the car sounds great know. My review for a LSJ .

Not sure if we got the exact same exhaust then, because my resonator certainly wasn't hollow. I have absolutely no drone at any times, and I would barely even consider it "loud". Then again "loud" is what I would have considered my old SC2 to be. I think mine is a perfect tone. I still need to make you guys a video.

edit: Also mine did not come with a silencer, nor a spot for one.

Its the same exact one, maybe they forgot to add stuff in my resonator lol. Before I installed the stock resonator, I was setting off car alarms in parkinglots , so I think it was loud lol

Edit: Mine also DID NOT come with a silencer nor a spot for one. Its the same exhaust.

Very odd. Only thing I can think of is it's because you have an LSJ. My girlfriend only complains about mine every once and a while, so it can't be that loud. I'll definitely grab a video (hopefully tomorrow but don't quote me). Maybe I'm just a deaf ass.
