Those running with ARK GRiP Exhaust....i just joined the club! :)

Yeah, the FX35 does drone a lot. Even though a G35/7 is pretty much the same car mechanically, I find them to drone less. I think it's because the FX is heavy relative to the engine pulling it around. The drone is worst when under load in that 2-2.5K rpm range. My other car is a 335i and even though it's much louder overall than the FX - catless downpipes and full exhaust - it doesn't drone nearly as much. The FX has that drone/boominess around 2-2.5K. I wonder if the 45/50's drone as much. One member here did a full muffler delete on his 50 and it sounds decent. I can't imagine how horrible that would sound on a 35/7.
 
The 50 is extremely quiet. I've previously owned an '07 FX35, a 3.7, and a 5.0. Even with my test-piped ARK exhaust it's still loads quieter than the others.
 
ok so my stock exhaust has been on for about a week.

- I miss the growl and aggressive exhaust note of the Ark Grip.
- I almost forgot how quiet the interior can be.
- I don't miss the drone.

Taking pictures and will put up for sale by next week.
 
Just came across this old thread. Was thinking of getting this exact exhaust. Someone tell me the OP is slightly over-reacting so I can justify the purchase!
