    So the other day my wife got rear ended while driving our 14 optima sx (2.4), I dropped it off at the repair shop today and the whole exhaust needed to be replaced, which would cost $1800 for the oem exhaust. I sent the repair shop the link to the ARK DT-S exhaust system and they said they may...

    When we got the insurance policy for our new EX it didn't include a discount for having an alarm. When I called my agent to ask about this they told me the VIN indicated the car doesn't have an alarm. The car does actually have a alarm, with a LED that flashes on the front of the dash. I...
