Yes it would mate. The cat provided is most likely hiflow and will not pass.

 

I wanna know the outcome of this too!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

Yeah I'm certain its high flow but the question is more around does it smell as much as running traditional HFC and standard y-pipe. I'm not overly familiar with HFC/test pipe smells so I'm a little uncertain here.

ie: would I be able to smell the exhaust if went the XYZ-pipe with cat route = pass any sniff test

 

Has anyone Tested these with FI and if so what kind of set-up. I'm interested to see what kinda gains can be had with twins, Greddy or others.
Also would a FI want a bit bigger pipes or will these be fine

Thanks for a great looking and working product

 

Is this under the presumption that you are leaving stock cats or using the ART's? I'm presuming the ART route?

The issue here is that you will be going from 2 very restrictive stock cats, to 1 HFC. With this said, the smell will be more noticeable.

But will the authority's notice the difference in smell? Highly unlikely.

 

Yes correct.

I'll also take that to refer to me noticing as well. Gains look very tempting.. but need to sort out AFR first.

 

waiting on those pipes for the HR....subscribed

 

For those anticipating purchasing these ART's in the greater LA,Ca area, there is a Ebay listing for $599 from Riverside Infiniti Shipping included. They advertise that you would get the unpolished one at that price but mine came polished. Maybe they still have a few around that are shiny. Or did I just get lucky! don't know but still a good price I think. Naturally State tax applies.

 

so is the the HR set ready? if so, i'm ready to paypal!

 

So, my first hand observations of the ART's are WoW! OmG! Just installed the ones from Riverside Infiniti and took around the block and on the FRWY. By far the best bang for buck item ever! I have a 03, with Motordyne plenum spacer, HR Y pipe, and Magnaflow single exhaust, which makes it a rather stock car compared to most of you out there with no tune. From 3K and beyond, goodbye Charlie, your'e gone! I'm a 57 yr old guy that just loves the twisties and mid end torque. I don't care for straights and top end fast but this thing can get me in alot of trouble if I wanted really fast.

 

pretty cool ur 57 buying Test pipes

 

Fantastic! I'm glad you enjoy them, too! With those mods, you should consider getting a tune. Not only would it be much safer, but your car would wake up even more!

 

Indeed, Conagrats to Nismou20, on still having a passion for cars and enjoying life. That's how i envision my hobby to be the older I get.

 

come on guys, 57 isn't old! my dad is 63 and we just installed some pop chargers on his 07 redline not too long ago lol ...

That was an awesome video!! The ART pipes sound great, I just put my set on and the camera doesn't do the pipes justice. They sound so much better in person.

 

Just a quick update to those who has been waiting for the HR ART pipes to get released!

I was down with Tony today getting the final fitments confirmation for the HR ART pipes. I'm glad to say I appreciate Tony's precision and attention to details in terms of making sure this production will be a perfect "direct replacement" to your current HR setups.

Everything went smooth and it seems like Tony is ready to produce these at mass.

So please hang on tight a bit longer guys, within another month or so of time, these will be ready. Hang on to your paypals a bit longer, I assure you the waiting is well worth it!

I will be diligent and write out the full ART review for HR as soon as I get them. So you guys can stay tuned for that. Once I have everything documented, I'll post a new review thread and link it here.

See you guys again in a month!

 

cant wait!

 

your father had you when he was 6!?
