Can someone please explain what are the differences between the different versions of motordyne ART pipes?

I think V1 had a more flat ended helmholtz resonator. The V2 had a rounded one. I'm not sure about V3.

IRCC, V3 had a tab to reuse stock attachment brackets like the OEM CATS did.

Yes and that help with the rattling sound some owners experienced. Mostly with the V1 but it sure does help!

I did notice the v3 had the bracket, I'm pretty sure that was also supposed to help the cracks that developed in the v1 and v2 versions (I had a v1 at one point and both sides eventually cracked around the helmholts resonator).

Was there anything else?

I don't see any tabs on the newest ART Pipes, V3. Assuming that MD has the latest pic of them on their website for sale.

The V2s had the tab. Seems like they removed them for the V3s.
Someone posted the V2s for sale, and they have the tabs/brackets.

Ughh. I wish someone could just post a pic of all 3 ART Pipe Versions
