ARK Catback Exhaust installed, and I’ve been living with it for the past two weeks.
Between my FK8 and FL5, I’ve had about 10 different exhaust setups, and this one is definitely up there when it comes to delivering a really smooth, deep tone.
Construction is beautiful. It uses flanged joints...
much appreciated!
Besides this, the MXP was a great exhaust to have! It’s already off the car as I have moved on to testing the ARK Catback that was released last month. I’ll talk about this in my next post.
A local FL5 friend who will be taking the MXP has seen your recommendation about the...
Rays ZE40 19x10 +40 with 265/35R19 Conti ECS 02. H&R Springs, Wunderladen Rear Camber Arms, and front guide pins pulled. No rubbing, even with multiple passengers :)
Yep, 60 will come right at the top of 2nd. I can’t comment anymore about being slower now that the car received an Inlet, Intake, and an Intercooler Kit 🏎️💨
Detailed posts to follow..
Historically the Indy’s are louder, especially as they age. In terns of sizing, their section width is narrower than most tires, so I could have even pushed a 275/35 if I went with the Indy’s.
I have the SDI currently installed, it’s been great since September. I’ve had a DSC unit laying around...
We would've definitely been contacted by existing customers that have purchased them over the past year if they encountered that, and so far none have. We also have these on three of our daily driven cars.
Happy to share! You just have to unbolt, and set them to the side. I keep all my OEM parts in the boxes that the aftermarket parts come in or in a designated area. My FK8 part-out was a breeze since we kept everything :)
COBB Intercooler Kit installed
I went with a bar-and-plate intercooler since this car will see more daily driving than track work, with turbo and fueling upgrades planned later. I haven’t seen many COBB kits installed yet, so I figured I’d go for it and share some feedback.
Everything came...
Aluminum, and yes I would say based off our sales that 70% of Front Paragon Rotor orders are just the Rings. 30% may be 17-19 FK8 guys wanting 2-piece Rotors, 2-piece rotor guys not wanting to do/get the labor done for the swap, OR want matching Front and Rear Hats.
I fall into the 3rd category...
You're partially right. We convinced Invidia USA to start offering them here. Initially they only offered the R400, thinking that all Type R owners would want the louder exhaust.

I'm really enjoying the sound of the MXP Exhaust right now, following my great experience with the Hybrid Racing Exhaust as well.
My one complaint with the MXP however is that the underside of the left muffler comes into contact with the diffuser undertray at slow speeds, when either the...
Appreciate everyone's quick replies! What's cool is that once I install it I can just switch the harness from SDI to DSC, so I just need to get off my butt and do that. I'm glad everyone's feedback has been positive!
I did like how DSC was reaching out to customers asking which Springs they are...
Mileage/feedback check-in for DSC owners, how's it going?
I still have my unit in the box, I haven't had a chance to test it out. I have no complaints with the SDI unit I have already, I just find it easier to adjust on the fly. DSC does seem to be more granular however with their adjustments...
Not that I've noticed with day to day driving. I'd have to time 60-130 runs back to back on the same road surface, same weather conditions to tell the difference.
