After waiting for 3 weeks, its finally here. I already had the 1 7/8 headers and just needed the lead pipes back to complete the full system. The box was pretty bangedup when UPS delivery man dropped it off, but all was intact. I thought it was weird that the 3in necks down to 2.5 just under the rear axles but I have been told that this was designed that way to make more power. Maybe some here can confirm this.
Install was a breeze as you would expect a 3k dollar system to be. The quality is top notch just as good as corsa. I will say that corsa has better tips, but we all know this. But this is by no means an insult to the ARH. I do wish that they offered a black tip and quad tip version.
I havnt driven my car in 3 weeks so it was a true cold start lol. I expected it to be very loud and it wasnt. It was just as loud as headers/ corsa sport. What I did not like about corsa/header was how high pitch it was, even upon start up. The full ARH was deep. I have mine paired with the H pipe and hi flo cats. Without cats, im sure it would have been louder. I may toy around with it in the future and run it catless. But for all those that want headers and catback that wont piss off your neighborhood at 0430, this is the way to go.
Driving impressions were right away amazing. It is much deeper in person than in videos. There is zero rasp or drone. It drives somewhat quiet but under throttle it screams almost as loud as corsa/ header combo catless.
All of you know I have been back and forth with different exhaust systems and this will be the one that stays. I will add some videos to this here soon.
Other systems I have owned are:
stock header/ corsa sport, xtreme, borla atak.
sp header, catless/ borla atak, s type, sw catback
ARH header, catless/ corsa sport direct connection
and now the full ARH w/ H pipe and hi flo cats.
