Absolutely.

Cool, nice job. Such a wide variation of sound from light throttle to WOT. I'm interested to hear if the catted version smooths out the sound a bit. It has a very raw sound at WOT, similar to a race car or running open headers or something, which I'm sure many people love. But I'm hoping the catted version sounds a bit more refined.

ps. Do yourselves a favor, people, and stop listening to exhaust clips over a phone or laptop. Those things cant reproduce sound worth a damn.

I think it sounds amazing and I don't hear any rasp at all.

Can't wait for more. Sounds insanely good

I would love to hear the quieter versions of this exhaust.

Agreed- the current clip is a bit loud for my tastes, but the sound/tone itself is very clean.

Looks like its time for a new exhaust. :)

Is this exhaust gonna be lowered car friendly?

yes.

UPDATE: I spoke with my fabricator about the time to complete the first production run and he estimates we can have the first production run completed by the end of January.

The work has already started.

We will also try to get at least one done ahead of time so I can post clean pictures for you.

:tup:

Definitely need some drive-by videos. I think I was expecting something completely different this whole time. Listened to these several times on my Macbook Pro and also with high end on-ear headphones. Sadly, my current setup sounds way too close to consider the change for now.

I guess I was hoping for less of the raw metallic sound and more of an exotic throat throughout the entire powerband. I'd like the high frequencies to be muted more somehow. It's unfortunately still got that noticeable "ting" to it, which at this point I'm assuming cannot be masked. It must just be a rasp associated with our engines that cannot be shaken.

Fingers crossed for the tamed down version, and also for some dyno results. I'm personally willing to sacrifice a little HP and TQ for perfect tone. After all this time, I really want a reason to purchase this when it becomes available for the G37. Props to Tony for all of the work he has put into this though. If nothing else, I'm sure the quality will be unmatched and this will put down unmatched numbers on the dyno.

anybody have the ART pipes with topspeed exhaust/ypipe?

Would love to hear it before i pay for the pipes ;)

Just ordered my ART pipes. First mod on the Z I'm worried about how the red RTV is going to hold up instead of gaskets. Anyone have any experience with this?

You can order those (upstream 3 hole) high temp gaskets from BERK Tech direct. I'm doing this with my FI Resonated HFC...they also use RED RTV instead of gaskets.

those are Graphite. That's the gasket the Tony said will go bad..

Are any of the guys using Berk Pipes having issues with these gaskets?
