Also got my SES warning light came on, second time should I do another reset? Is it possible for the pipes to cause any damage to the car?

The only time I have triggered CEL's, which has been about 4 weeks after install/reinstall, it has been due to an almost impossible to detect exhaust leak at the top flange. If you're not sure just reset it and wait, buy the time it comes back on it will be big enough to hear and detect if you get under there while it's running.

I would almost bet money if you get under there you'll find a leak.

On that note Tony, I'll be hitting you up for yet another set of gaskets. Once again it's burned through in the same spot, despite using the rtv in the manner you prescribed. When I pull it off this time i'm going to check the flange for flatness, to be sure it's milled correctly. Will you pm or email when they ship please, I'll let you know what we find.

Thanks Aggie, i'll give that a try and see if I get the CEL message again. Does anyone else have the vibration problem?

I'll need to ask the fabricator for a production time estimate. (Its typically 4-5 weeks for production.) I hope to get at least a few production quality systems fabricated sooner ~2 weeks for pictures and ~1 week for sound clips.

don't want to be annoying, but still waiting info about the AWD transfer-case fitting!

waiting to see your exhaust before i order a F.I. Hope its good!

Motordyne · 10-20-2011, 10:35 PM

Right on.

This will be worth the wait.

If you apply the RTV to the flange surface, let it air cure for a few minutes before installing it. Then let it sit overnight and its good to go.

GENERAL QUESTION ABOUT EXHAUST TIPS.

We normally stock 4.5" OD stainless steel and burnt titanium tips with either a straight or rolled lip.

Would more people be interested in a 5" OD burnt Ti tip with a rolled lip?...

Or is 5" too big?

Well the nismo exhaust is 5" right? I'd go for that, if there was a rolled stainless option.

5" all the way!

Go big or go home!

Burnt Ti straight tip.

cheshirecat · 10-22-2011, 01:43 PM

stainless rolled 5'' would be amazing.

Hmm, I want to buy ART pipes so badly, but still don't want to be the first who will try them on AWD (G35x '07, VQ35HR) and find out it wouldn't fit, as I live like 10000 from the USA and it will be hard to return them...

Please, someone with the G35x/G37x - test fit them!

Motordyne · 10-27-2011, 10:05 AM

Tell you what. I'll send them to you with a 100% money back guarantee including shipping. If they don't fit, total refund... and you don't need to return them.

That's a great offer!!!

I think my muffler shop can install them anyway even with the slight modifications!

It's hard for me to buy parts directly from the states. So, the local shop (streetpower.com.ua) that imports parts from the USA will contact you soon in a week or two to buy them for me (user harp00n, Vladimir Lvov)
