Tunerzstore.com is having a Tax Day Sale 2/4/16-4/15/16. 30% off MSRP for all ARK exhausts. They don't list the M37/Q70 exhaust but I imagine they would extend the discount if someone inquired. That would make the price $1,400.

I don't have a point-of-comparison now that the ARK is installed but I am guessing it is a couple of inches lower, maybe a bit more. I heard something bump yesterday when navigating over some speed bumps. I'll have check later to see if it scraped the midpipe.
Did you get a chance to check on any possible scrapes? Want to get some BCs and this exhaust but worried about drop height issues.

BC's don't automatically drop it on the ground. If you plan on tucking the wheels, you will have clearance issues regardless.

Also, I noticed that the availability for the Y51 was April on the website.

I haven't gotten a chance to check the midpipe for scrapes yet. Will take a peek tomorrow.

The guys at ARK said they had 5 or 6 units left from this first production run. If you are interested, I would hit up Tunerzstore and let them reach out to ARK.

ARK posted a couple of brief sound clips on Instagram (arkperformance). Good sound quality.

k67's car is so sweet. Man I hate the rear end on the pre-'15 Y51's...everytime I see a nice '15 I hate it all over again.

Do we know if this fits AWD? I'm guessing yes since the G37/Q50 applications do and I would expect them to use the same front piping arrangement...

Yes, I believe someone compared part numbers and everything after the cats is identical.

Confirmed that I am scraping the resonators just aft of the x-pipe. It's the lowest point and it's in the center of the wheelbase so it's going to be difficult to avoid scraping on speed bumps.

When I had my M35x, I built a 'protector' that I wired to the lowest point of the exhaust using sheet metal lol.

I will probably have to fab something like that which will take the brunt of the scraping and push the resonators up slightly upon impact.

Just want to confirm, has any m37x on here actually installed this exhaust yet, think I'm going to grab it last minute before the promotion ends but they won't confirm if it fits awd if someone can help out

Does anyone know if (or think that) the Ark exhaust will fit the 5.6 Y51?

Not sure if we ever confirmed
