Nope, just straight RTV. The gaskets were breaking down on the inside- it was pretty bad.

The flanges line up 100%, so it's a complete seal even without the gaskets. This is only between the headers and ART pipe- between the ART and Y-pipe there are gaskets.

Use rtv plus gaskets .. I have used this combo for years and not one leak . Used just gaskets and leaks .. Used just rtv and it starts to leak over time as well .. The combo is good to go ...

Just listened to the exhaust video again it sounds so raw and unrefined. Maybe it's bc of the mic location.

just got them today:

is it v1 or v2 version? i believe the last one had some dark ceramic coating, not the chrome like mine?

G37sHKS · 01-18-2012, 08:16 AM

From the picture, i say its the lastest version because of the barcket on the resonators..

Correct me if im wrong Tony

Yes, this is the latest version.

If you buy any new Motordyne part from an authorized dealer it will always be the latest edition.

yeah, it seems to be the latest version, because of the brackets.

well, I hope tomorrow I will take my car to the muffler shop so they would start modding the pipes to fit my AWD sedan

Are the same updates (tabs, no glasspack, no screen) updated on the 350z version as well?

Buying from CCC, would i get the same support from MD? Or to be sure i get the latest versions?

And this is why you'll get my business and recommendations, you're doing something good that's actually worth the (albeit slightly spendy) asking price.

You're always around answering questions and generally being dedicated, it makes people feel good and i hope it earns you the reputation you deserve.

Thank you

Thank you for the kind words. Always appreciated.

So, another AWD G is happy!

My shop had to mod them to fit AWD transfer case:

I like them really MUCH, good quality and they are just 10% louder than my ex Berk's HFC after 3000rpm and the same on the low rpms! And I can feel torque sligthly better at lo-mid rpms (2500-4000).

As I know, I am the second or third one with the ART pipes installed to the AWD G

I haven't had the chance to read through this whole thread, but I'm interested in seeing any Dyno results before/after getting the ART pipes.
