So what do you guys think a set of arts are worth with out flanges on em??
Technically they are scrap metal. But I agree some value.
I think I'd be willing to pay that amount for a new set. That's logical to me.
I bet Tony replaced a crap load of V1's for people. Hush hush.
* Tony give up on the other guy load of crap cuz if you needed another set without flanges all you had to do was make another set right there boom. Since you were pounding them out and carelessly sent me un finished hr pre fabs which I think I can quote you on.
And I didnt get flanges liar!!!

Let's make a deal on this and I'll erase these posts and the vids and you won't hear about it anymore.
And if your a sport I'll buy a xyz maybe.
Notice how I'm not attacking you personally or motordyne??
Not really anyway. It's because I like your stuff and it was new at the time. I sang praises like everyone else until they broke. Despite the bs that happened.

I had a problem with the old ART pipes hitting my transmission pan (it was sometimes a problem on 5AT's) and Tony replaced them with the new v2.1's no questions asked. And these fit perfect, no issues whatsoever. Great customer service and an awesome product.

i had a problem with a set of V1's when the Art pipes first came out.. i bought them at Riverside Infiniti.. Tony didn't have a replacement set at the time and asked if Riverside would give me a set that they had in stock so I could switch em out asap.. I ended up goin to Tony's house on the way to MaGic Mountain to drop off the Damaged art pipes personally and meet him to thank him... he is a great stand up guy and we should be lucky to have an innovator like himself on our forum..
as for wu-wutt.?/ dude.. you're no newb.. you fuct up and you're still being a d!ck.. shame on u...

You know that moment where you think you may have been a little harsh and then the guy turns out to be an even bigger tool than you initially thought? Totally having it right now.

Now your just flaming motordyne for your poor judgment. I have the same issue but you don't see me getting pissed. I put my car on a lift, welded the crack AND welded a metal rod from canister to pipe to stabilize it from breaking again.
How bout you try more on fixing the problem then arguing about it...

Ya that has been done. I made 2 attempts at fixing them before complaining. Cut a piece of pipe in half and welded it between the pipe and resonator.
I don't have a hoist or a welder so it cost me $300 between the two.
How are you not pissed? They are $600, and we're revised because of this issue.

I am not pisses because they DID revise them and I have been in constant contact with Tony about a replacement. Hes a very understanding guy but in my case if I get a new set my old ones will be in the mail back to him within a few days... That's why im not pissed.

IF I didn't send the CUSTOM ones back that I was suppose to then I'd pay what the CUSTOM art pipes were worth. Doesn't matter what they were worth to you. Matters what they were worth to the customer and motordyne. It'd prolly be cheaper to buy a set at normal price bc I bet the CUSTOM pipes were more than the standard 600$ price tag.

I think you'll find that means custom, they're not the norm.
Stop arguing about semantics, boil it down to what it is, you owe Tony a set of ART pipes before anything else. As suggested, it seems a simpler idea to just order a new set as you can't return the set you were supposed to, they weren't faulty, just not what you needed.

Ahem, custom.
They're technically priceless, so not a good route to go down.
However, you can't return the custom work, it caused another custom run to be ordered, it caused another customer a nearly 3 month delay on their project and everyone a lot of problems generally.
What do you think you should do, based on the facts laid out?

Are the pipes made of gold? May we see pictures of that exotic setup?

i say.. since you disrespected the maker of these pipes.. you should run to your computer with your tail between your legs and order/buy a different product..
you seem more like a megans test pipes sort of guy to me..
