Pipes installed?

 

Not yet they will be installed on Tuesday. Here is a clip of the hks exhaust with the current Titek pipes. I'm hoping the ART pipes will improve on the tone.

 

The ART pipes are finally here!



Here they are being installed.





And of course her big fat cans



The HKS pipes now have a much deeper growl, and all rasp and drone are gone. , The horsepower gains in the mid range are def noticeable! Probably one of my favorite mods so far. Well worth the money! Will post an exhaust clip soon.

 

^^ very nice! Congrats! We should do a poll for you dyno tune day on estimated rwhp!

 

BTW... The o2 sensor defouler trick from one of the other threads does work on these pipes. The wires from the o2 sensors are just long enough. No CEL light is being thrown.

 

Thank you! ... and heck yes, that sounds awesome! My heart actually starts pumping faster thinking about tune day. I know is just a number, but dang I'm nervous! Next up is the MREV2 which is due to arrive tomorrow. Install won't be till this weekend though.

 

Great purchase!! I have everything motordyne except the spacer.

 

no no! Its not just a number lol I'm a car enthusiast, just like you!!... no need to explain!

I went out and bought a slew of parts too, just waiting for their arrival and then I'm going to Uprev for a dyno tune also

 

My spacer came with the car when I purchased it. I texted one of the techs at MD a pic of it, and he confirmed that it wasn't MD either. I'm actually not even sure if it's the 1/2" or the 5/16". He did confirm that either one would fit the plenum though.

Did you do the install on the mrev2 yourself?

 

Nice what mods have you purchased?

 

Ive never been a fan of intakes so i went with AFE drop ins, Z1 post mafs tubes, ART pipes pending from a local, XYZ pipe with resonator, stillen crank pulley, and im shopping for an exhaust as we speak lol in a week or so after all installs, im UPREV bound

 

.....ahhh, you did the crank pulley (smh). I've been thinking about that one but had put it on the back burner. Now I feel the itch again, lol. Did you notice any additional "spunky-ness" after install?

 

What are those brackets on the canisters for?

I would love to get ART Pipes to pair up with my Nismo but I do not want to risk cracking them since I still have my S-Tune y pipe and the ART Pipes don't have flex joints OR brackets.

 

Could be Z1 or Skunk spacers. Yeah I did the Mrev myself. It was fun to say the least. I striped my throttle body bolt only to realize didn't quite need to take it off.

 

Not sure what they are for, maybe someone else can chime in?

 

cat brace.... which obviously she doesn't have, and i would highly recommend getting it. it helps keep the art pipe from twisting side to side thus helping limit the possibility of cracking. later on when you get tuned, remove the anti foulers, because they can adjust that afr to where you don't need them, or even turn off the sensors (but they still read available to the ecu)

 

now do a bumper tuck and show off that exhaust

 

Awesome, thanks for clarifying Will do what you recommended when I get it tuned. Is the cat brace something that I can wait on till then too, or is it something I need to do right away?

 

Lol, at the expense of sounding like an idiot, what's a bumper tuck?

 

you will be okay, but i would get it when you can

its where you tuck the bumper..........
