ART pipes were installed today. Excellent job by the guys at R/T Tuning in Landsdale PA!

First impressions-

The car feels much faster,especially in the higher RPM's. My drive home was pretty much all highway so it was a fun trip home. I thought that the car would be much louder,especially in the cabin but I was surprised. It sounds amazing!

Small issue -

Once the install was complete the guys at R/T brought me into the bay and pointed out something to me. I have the ARK CBE and I do get a small whistle type sound coming from the X-pipe of the exhaust. I know it was coming from the x-pipe because we were standing under the car as it was revved. There is definitely no leaks and who knows, this may go away once the ART pipes break in. Could also be the design of the ARK.

I will play it by ear it give it some time before I really worry about it.
