Awesome thank you very much this was super helpful.
One other thing I was told to ask is if the car will throw CEL on the dyno since it's not moving and will it need time to reset between runs. Friends BMW totally flipped out when he dyno'd it and threw all kinds of codes because it was not moving and had to be driven around to reset it.
No CEL at all, just a Christmas tree on the dash and beeping from the nanny sensors, but nothing to be worried about as all that will be gone once the dyno runs are done and all 4 wheels sensors detect movement again.
I emailed them yesterday and this was the response..
“We’ve currently shipped 7 preorders out. ARK States they have more brackets coming in tomorrow with plenty of pipes on hand
Will have tracking tomorrow or Wednesday latest.”

I was in the middle of asking the same question, and then realized that CeramicGT001 was likely referring to the fact that ARK has pipes on hand but are waiting for more brackets to come in so they can weld them in the appropriate places for the AWD cars, then shipping them out?

They are not using a bracket hack
Rather they are converting their RWD pipes to AWD
Cutting and shaving the RWD brackets and welding on completely new brackets on the AWD placement
I have results. I'll have them printed tomorrow was not able to print them due to technical issues that will get resolved tomorrow.
Results are 20hp gain with just these pipes alone no other mods on my 3.3TT RWD.
Things to note when I do post the printed results. Dyno did not have Stinger info so had to be manually entered. Before results were showing 10-15 HP higher then what he expected from a stock 365 HP stinger, but the before and after he said does show about a 20 HP gain.
Also something I noticed when I loaded the OEM pipes in the car they are much heavier than the ARK pipes.
Took him maybe 30min once he had the car up on the lift to change out the pipe. Super easy anyone could do it would be hard without a lift though.
Does seem a bit louder will be able to tell more over the weekend as I had the seat down with the OEM pipes in a box in the back and it's pretty loud when you're on it with the seats down.
Was to much traffic and cops on the way home to butt dyno so will do that this weekend.
Here is a couple of photo's and a video of one of the pulls (oops my finger was in the damn view), exhaust smoke is from the new pipes burning things off.
any updates on AP IC?
