Arqray SS Cat Back - Page 2 - LotusTalk

Mike- are you talking about sector111 having sound clips? Know MW had your system at Buttonwillow. Would be nice if they've got sound clips in and outside the car at the track... a bit more real world then revving it at idle. Almost as good if there is a spectrum breakdown of the sound/levels. In any case the longer I drag this out the happier my pocket book will feel.

I ordered the Arqray SS Twin Muffler system today. Shinoo told me it weighs 18.5 lbs. A bit more than some of the other aftermarket exhausts, but still lighter than stock. I think I'll be happy with it. I want an aggressive tone (with burbles! Mmm... burbles....) but not too loud and no drone, and I wanted to keep the rear panels on.

Dro, what kind of cat did you order with the exhaust? Sportcat or cat replacement pipe???

I know they shot video and all, I think there may have been technical difficulties on some of those....

Neither. The twin muffler system works with the stock cat.

At least I think it does.

I'm trying to confirm that with Shinoo now.

Shinoo is out driving his car. Yes, it works with the stock cat. Please don't panic.. And enjoy the Arqray sound.

Exactly, it's a cat-back system.

I was asking because I read this on sector111 website (i think its a little misleading, maybe you guys should correct this),

"You can unbolt the Sport Cat and easily replace it with the Cat Replacement pipe. The exhaust will NOT bolt to the stock cat. You must order either the Sport Cat or Cat Replacement Pipe to fit this system to your car. Track use only."

Shinoo will look into it.

"You can unbolt the Sport Cat and easily replace it with the Cat Replacement pipe. The exhaust will NOT bolt to the stock cat. You must order either the Sport Cat or Cat Replacement Pipe to fit this system to your car. Track use only."

There are bacically 2 different types offered.
1.The exhaust systems that requires the cat replacement pipes or sport cats.
2.The Cat gack systems that uses a factory cats.

Keith, that's true for the single-tip, but the twin-muffler twin-tip SS is a cat-back system just as it says in the description for that item.

As has been stated, it depends on the exhaust ordered. The one I got (the same one Mikester has), the twin muffler system, bolts up to the stock cat.

Another happy Arqray SS cat back customer.

The exhaust sounds wicked, at least in my garage . . .
