MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

Yes the exhaust is in work now. Working on routing tubing and testing various primary diameters. No release date yet, I will make a post on it.

The intake will come after the exhaust.

I know you said no release date, but would you say within maybe 6 months you may have something? Perhaps a year?

Everyone is coming out with something new... i'm just trying to wait for the very best out there and I know you all, Ark and F.I. and others all have top quality products. It's just so hard to choose lol.

Any chance you could spill a bit of info on this, even if it's just what your goals for the intake system are?

I know I'm not the only one unwilling to go the route of the G3's, with the bumper removal issue etc, and I'm still not convinced the R2C's are worth the money or can outperform drop ins and PMTs.

Well no one has done an independent test on the 370... people keep trying to bring up the G37, and I said that I felt like the airflow for the G37 would enable the R2C's to produce more power and then a few people basically laughed it off.

Has anyone looked at the front of a G37 lately? The whole front end is open for airflow! No wonder it can make power close equal to the G3's.

I think you and I are looking at this the same way. I don't know enough about air flow and fluid dynamics to definitevly say that the G37 will post higher #s than the Z with the R2Cs, However, I do know that I'd like to see a dyno with an intake on MY friggin car before I drop 400+ bones on a part. that said, I do want to believe the R2Cs are better than the dropins/PMT option, if only so I can squeeze a couple more ponies outta the car.

I hope Tony makes a kick a$$ intake that will post repeatable good gains etc and not be a pain in the a$$ requiring bumper removal and have fitment issues ala G3 and a/c lines etc.

I'm willing to wait and see what Tony comes up with and then hopefully by then be able to compare his dyno results ot R2C and see which comes out on top. (I was about to go ahead and plan to order the R2Cs in a few months but now I will wait since motordyne makes such good products)

I'm been close to ordering the G3's or R2C's on several occasions, but the bumper thing stopped me and the lack of dyno numbers with the other stopped me on that one. I had thought about just getting them and having the car dyno'd... but i'm not dropping that much money and then turning around if they don't produce and losing money on them.

First 200 miles: no problems.
Next 200 miles: bead in tin can rattling at start up and also while driving. CEL light P2A03. Code cleared hoping it was just a fluke.
Last 200 miles. Bead in tin can rattling is all but gone. Still some hints of it. CEL light returns but now its P2A03 and P2A00.

TonyBPD · 07-31-2011, 10:28 PM

What are those codes?

370Z JT · 07-31-2011, 10:39 PM

Left and Right O2 sensors. but can be an array of issues, not just faulty o2 sensors.

chuckd05 · 08-02-2011, 03:46 AM

It is super easy to remove the front bumper. Dont let that stop you!

Footloose301 · 08-02-2011, 05:08 AM

Yep. Right around 5min total

rz34 · 08-02-2011, 06:43 AM

which intake is the R2C never heard of it...

ChipsWithDips,

There is nothing like actual real world testing to show what a part does. Would you like to do a comparative dyno test? Discounted for the dyno of course.

If possible, try to include LHT's as part of the comparison.

And yes, we have considered putting the side branch resonators on LTH's. That would be ideal for sure, but that will have to come after implementation of other projects in work now.

See, if i were to buy LTH's i would have trying to fenagle you out of some resonators to attach to em

I wish I could have just driven to Orlando to go pick them up now. FedEx is holding them hostage there until tomorrow!
