My car is only at Stage 1.2, lots of stage 3 going on there. Good work.

Thanks Guys I will keep you guys updated if you have any questions about the car or tune let me know I am here to help!

Looks great man. 2 questions for you.



1. What camber are you running f+r

2. How did you determine that ark exhaust was cause of the lost in power and what aspect of the system contributed to that loss?

2.0T Mirabeau

The camber is at factory settings after I installed the wheels and springs I went about 3 weeks later to my buddy at the dealership and had a 4 wheels alignment. There is no reason for me to run negative camber until I install my BC coils. Then I think I will have to run some negative in the rear but the front will be fine.



For the ARK exhaust I had my car on the dyno right after I reflashed my car only other MOD was CAI it dyno'd at 194HP. About 1 month later I installed the Ark Exhaust and went back to the same dyno and only hit 182HP. The ARK exhaust was I could concept but it just plain out smothers the Turbo and Exhaust Gases because of the canister design is all I can figure out.

tanc

Did you take it right off and wham power back to normal? There are many contributing factors to powerloss especially after one month between dynos. I'm just curious if you ran a couple runs with the ark on, got an avg whp then took it off and did a couple pulls to compare avg whp without changing anything else?

2.0T Mirabeau

I did 3 runs at a dyno day in NC the highest with the flash was 194 then when I went back a month later with the ARK exhaust did 3 pulls again highest 182. Then in I think it was August when I took the video I put the 3 inch BR catback with OEM downpipe with the second 02 on there when we did my baseline at BR it was 192 I believe I will have to get with Tim to find out exactly what it was. I am not the only one who has proved the ARK for the 2.0T to be a loss of power. I loved the way my ARK looked from the rear but I knew when I put it on there my butt dyno said something was not right. There is a thread on another forum that I will not mention there name where someone cut the ARK canister's off the exhaust and it was down right ugly and disappointing what they found!

tanc

By all means I'm not questioning you to find loop holes in your story or loss of credibility but a more factual claim with real data which you seem to have. I don't work for ARK, I was just curious since a lot of people buy their product and even on their website they show gains with dynos. This is good info. I can tell you this through from a bit of exhaust/pressure design theory background, the ARK exhaust is designed for SOUND no PERFORMANCE but most people don't what to look for when purchasing a system.



Now time to go find that thread so I can see those magic canisters.



Here is a good article on exhaust science. Take a look if your interested then come back in here and tell me if you agree with me just by reading that article. http://www.popularhotrodding.com/eng...xh/index1.html

2.0T Mirabeau

I 100% agree that there is a ton of different things that contribute to what the dyno reads! I did not take what you asked me the wrong way I am very big supporter when it comes to fact and fiction on performance in general so thanks for the questions. I read the artcle and it was very interesting thanks for the link. As far as the ARK exhaust goes the sound and quality was good but the HP completley disappointed me and the fact the exhaust melted my diffuser on the right side............ =( Once I get my car back for Beyond Redline I will post some dyno graphs from the local dyno I use here at home and take a few video's of the car running. Once again thanks for the questions I wish there was some more Gen Coupe owners on here I noticed this section is not that active or am I in the wrong sections!?
