The new exhaust is being worked on now. And it is very different from anything else.

That sounds awesome!

Kosstich, Do you have the chrome or titanium?

Titanium

OK good. Then you certainly don't have the ceramic beads in there then. Its probably just the silica coated fiberglass going through break in. Let me know how it goes.

Just a little over a hundred miles on mine and so far not a sound.

The smell is from not having cats in the system. Its completely normal for all test pipes and ART pipes.

At least for me, the smell doesn't mean anything but for thoes who are sensitive to it, adding in cats is easy. It will all be taken care of in the new exhaust.

Can't wait to see the results

So can you give me an idea of how much power I would gain with the ART pipes over a set of HFC's? I want the ART pipes but not the smell. I already have a CBE so if I change out everything, I would like it to be worth the extra effort expense. I don't think it would be worth it to gain like 3-5 hp for close to $1000 more expense.

When I say change out everything, I mean sell my Berk CBE and buy the Motordyne one with the cat built in.

I just cannot wait for his exhaust to get finished... hopefully it's going to be soon and based on some of the numbers i've seen with his exhaust on the 350z, it will be worth the wait.

Lets wait for the system to be released and then we can do all kinds of independent dynos for the various configurations.

And there is more than one.

I will be watching this thread.

After watching videos and reading reviews about their 350Z exhaust I must say it appears to be very impressive. The Y pipe going into a resonance chamber looks kinda korny to me. I always prefer the dual. But, if it works, don't question it.

Heres a review of the ART pipes and their TDX vs "Brand X" where they prove the "myth".

That was the system in production just prior to the release of the TDX. So that picture is not of the TDX.

But that resonator chamber you refer to is also a module. A XYZ pipe interchangeable module where you can put in a straight pipe, resonator or HFC depending on the application. It gives a lot of flexibility for various applications.

In fact, the TDX is simply one more option that was built onto the XYZ pipe to create the True Dual X pipe (TDX) exhaust system.

The new exhaust for the 370Z is entirely new and completely different from anything else. Unlike anything you have ever seen or heard with all kinds of new functionality.

Independent dynos will be mandatory. In fact, we should organize a shoot out because this is one that everybody will want to see.

Footloose301 · 08-27-2011, 09:44 AM

So I can assume this is going to work with a forced induction setup?

Having several options is going to be nice.

Motordyne · 08-27-2011, 09:46 AM

100%.

Looking forward to see the prototypes.
