Advanced Resonance Tuning (ART pipes)
ok, i finally got my ART pipes fitted to my HR Z. I will start a new thread with full results and maybe a vid or 2.
Suffice to say, awesome power gain and excellent sound quality, no drone, no rasp just as deep sounding but louder than with the stock cats.

What was the outside temperature when you first got the CEL? i noticed that my CEL comes on when the temperature is very hot, like 90 degrees fahrenheit ... then when tempreature goes down, CEL will disappear... Then come back when its hot etc.....
By the way, i have a question just to make sure it's not exhaust leak Tony.. I have this hissing sound when i let go of the gas pedal and rpm hits about 1.5k. Is that normal?
Just want to make sure since after installing the art pipes, my mpg has dropped by 2-3 mpg and my driving habits have not changed

Btw, i just switched out the XYZ pipe for megan y pipe. There was a noticeable low end torque loss with the XYZ pipe but now it's back to normal
awesome, thanks.^ glad i didnt spend 400$+ on an xyz and got a used aam 
also if you changed y pipes and the hissing went away then i would think it has to do something with the way the y pipe merges to the exhaust

^^ or maybe the XYZ HFC eliminated the sound 
but yes AAM i heard was the most bang for the buck vs power y pipe. I was trying to buy it but seller did not bite... so ended up with Megan.. Still does the work

Usually the sound was from test pipes, or hfc being used with a stock Y-pipe w/ heat shield. For some reason the heatshield was the culprit, and removing it or using an aftermarket would take of that.
What's the rest of your exhaust system, nismonian? Are your inlet/outlet diameters matching up through the rest of the exhaust?
