Hopefully tony is in the work of fixing the hissing sound for the next version of art pipe. My tdx2 with berk hfc sounds great but the hissing sound is the only thing that's bothering me.

Short version, you'll be lucky if you notice *ANY* hissing with ART pipes and a TDX2.

I do know from other peoples reviews, that there is additional clearance, i also know that the TDX2 has no problems clearing the stock bar. I don't think i have any pictures of the current clearance, but what i can tell you, is that when i was checking my system after i heard an occasional knock, that the swaybar was not an area of concern.
FYI, my occasional knock (heard when driving over railway lines) was caused by my initial poor adjustment of the mid-section hangar. It was a simple fix and there is even more clearance now than i ever thought possible, not a sound since

Sounds great dude. Honestly I really love my Nismo exhaust, the sound, the oem look, and loudness (I used to get exhaust tickets left and right with my Civic; Buddy Club Pro-Spec, Spoon N1, Greddy Evo2 to name a few exhaust setups) but if I wanted louder and didn't have to worry about the cops, this would be the exhaust I would get. This thing sounds amazing, congrats on the pickup!

That's one of the main reasons i get away with it as a DD, if it wasn't well behaved around town or normal driving, i'd have the same problem.
All i get is a great note from the system, it works out really nicely.

Yeah, i couldn't get this right away, i had to save a little, but it was well worth it rather than going with something lesser.
If you're just replacing HFC's with ARTs, you can gain from a tune, but you're not going to have much of a problem if you don't.
If you're doing the whole system, with the TDX2, them i highly recommend a tune to get the most out of it.
My car was running lean after all the mods (not just the exhaust) so the tune *really* helped me.

Awesome write up.
I've been weighing my options on exhaust systems and this is the 3rd write up or so that is really preaching how good the motordyne tdx v2 system is.
I was considering the HKS, ARK, TDX V2.
Everyone i've spoken to has had nothing but great things to say about this exhaust. I've made my mind up and i'm going to go with the TDX v2!
Thanks again for the write up, really helps guys like me trying to decide on what to get!
