Not that I am aware of.

 

hmmm I may have to give it a try

 

Any dyno's yet for these on an HR? What about CEL's? I know they aren't supposed to trigger a CEL on the DE's.. but from everything I've read, a CEL on a test pipe is unavoidable with the HR engine.

 

No dynos yet but they are scheduled. There are many people running them on HR's without CEL's.

 

im going to do before and after dyno's just waiting on the exhaust to finish.

 

When you do the dyno, the test pipes will be the only variable, right?

 

Just got mine on, and i immediately noticed a sound difference. Deeper and louder VQ sound since i have stock exhaust. One thing i noticed though was that at around 2k rpm, if i step on it 50% or more, it sort of lags, like the acceleration would be normal below 2k, then at ~2k, car will feel like it lags for a millisecond then i will feel the power increase.

That hissing sound at 2k when you let go of the gas pedal.. Any way to get rid of it? I can hear it when i wind off and the rpm hits 2k.

Also... I noticed i had been getting bad mpg's... I'm sure it's because im stepping on it more.. I will report back about this issue after a few days of normal driving vs. spirited driving.

 

At 2K RPM? It sounds like what you hear and feel coincide with the graph below?

If it was regular test pipes it would have a much larger dip from 1.5-3K RPM, it would be much louder and rasp intensely on a stock exhaust.

And if your gas consumption has gone up, its probably has a lot to do with a lead foot.

 

These are awesome!! If i had the motordyne exhaust id be all over these.

 

You know you don't need the MD exhaust to have ART Pipes, right?

 

picked up my pipes from Tonys about a week or two ago, waiting to get the TDX V2 then gonna have it all installed all together.

 

i want to hear yours, post a vid once you get it all installed. i got the art pipes and im waiting for the TDX V1 to be back in stock.

 

, what?

WHY tony, WHYyy????

seiously tho, why tony...lol..

 

Why would anyone want polished pipes if you can't see them?

 

The polish adds about $70 to the price tag ....most people would rather save the $$$ and get the pipes for their sound and power gains.

 

idk...lol... it just looks sweet.... true though you cant see them...lol

 

got on the test pipes today, havent had a chance yet to really run the car, will post what I think of them in a bit, noticed a loss in torque through 1-3k rpms

 

If you really want every pennies worth of these pipes you need to tune your car. Tuning your car is essential if your doing bolt-ons,well for me at least.

 

gonna do a tune after tdx v2 goes in, and maaaaybe 4.08 gears

 

still no hr dyno's with results??
