Ya, I have seen it but I dont really car for the tips (they look too big for the car). It was kinda loud, but I do not know what other mods were on the car. It reminds me of Invidia by the look but it was a tad quieter than the Invidia if I recall.

A friend has that exhaust on his NSX and it sounds really good on there, I did not like the S2K version though

now on another note, i know that Tanabe makes 3 kinds of exhaust. Does anybody have the one that looks like the APEXi N1(Medalion Concept G)?? And how does it sound as far as the Droning goes??

1) I'm 99% sure the ARK is a rebadged Invidia V1 exhaust.

2) I think the Concept G is a dual, in case you're getting it for the looks.

what makes you say that? Or are you just going to make definate statements that everyone has to agree with?

I heard from a few different people who own the exhaust that that is what the ARK exhaust is, if you look at it compared to the Invidia V1 it looks identical, and it sounds identical.
