?


ive spent an insane amount of time the last few days reading countless threads on everything related to exhaust. the only reoccurring theme ive found is that the MD ART pipes make more HP for the $ than ANY other single bolt on, exhaust related.

so has anyone ran JUST the ART pipes on a stock system? Or maybe JUST ART pipe with XYZ pipes on a stock rear muffler?


what would this sound like? what kind of power would be made?

 

test pipes on stock exhaust sound fantastic, and the art pipes sound absolutley fantastic for a test pipe, so i would not sweat it a second on going for it.

 

P&K350Z literally just put them on his car today, he loves them.
He is very impressed with the quality of them

 

Yes... sounds really good.

 

100% on getting this setup. I'm just about to post my review of this setup

 

Yeah I heard a car here fire up w them.n they are night n day fantastic as compared to other resd pipes..no comparison..

 

It sounds great, I running them on my G with a stock exhaust.
You might have a little rasp though.

 

Its never been done before. Call yourself a visionary. A trailblazer.

 

 

Awesome! Make sure to get some video!

 

Yup, video with proper stereo mic on it's way, threads up in this section, just gotta wait to record the clips.

 

 

ive had mine on fore about 2 months , it is raspy but not unbearable it kinda sounds like an e46 m3, the rasp only comes when i go full throttle and the dies at cruising speed . im still debating if i want to do an aftermarket exhaust just to maximize my gains before i get the car tuned.

 

Your the only person to claim Rasp from the ART pipes on this forum.

 

Then everybody else must be lucky or lying lol , cause mine definitely rasp.

 

I am completely pleased. I installed the ART test pipes and the XYZ Y-Pipe with the resonator. I kept the Nismo S-Tune rear section. The quality of the parts is amazing. Made the Nismo Y-Pipe look like it was made by amateurs. Sound is very good and absolutely no rasp. Not even a hint.

 

I had an OEM exhaust w/XYZ resonated Y-pipe and ART pipes... no rasp. Now I have a Greddy Spectrum Elite instead of the the OEM... No rasp.

If you're interested

With the HFC module on the XYZ, running ART's but the rest of the system is stock; i get a little bit of rasp only when i'm flat down at about 4-5k rpm. Tony at MD has said the resonator solves this, i will test that very shortly when i do the sound recordings.

I guess i'll have a HFC and resonator module for sale soon, once i buy the Shockwave system, i'll have no use for them.

 

Bingo, you had the xyx pipe with your art pipes with stock exhaust . I have just art pipes on a stock exhaust . The opener wants to know will there be any rasp with the pipes on a stock exhaust and nothing else , even the guy that created the art pipes says there can be some rasp. I'm not making this stuff up art pipes do rasp. just not as bad as other test pipes on the market.

 

I just read the op post again he did say . the xyz pipe with the art pipes or with just the exhaust . I might get that xyz pipe instead of an after market exhaust to kill the rasp. But truthfully the rasp has kinda grown on me lol
