MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

Armonster · 06-24-2011, 03:04 PM

Yeah, I am not getting the rasp-type hiss that aadosx is describing. My hissing sounds like a huge volume of air flowing around a sharp corner or something, and never happens unless I am heavy on the gas pedal. I think it continues up to redline, but the engine and exhaust are so loud by that point that I don't notice the hiss as much. It's quite loud, though.

The only other thing I sometimes hear while not accelerating is a burbling sound between shifts at high rpms. I kinda like that sound, though.

I'm from the Myg37 forum, but I recently purchased the ART Test Pipes and am having some hissing sound that sounds very similar to this or pinging sound. I have the Gemini exhaust, and I'm not sure if it is the exhaust or anything is the reason....but I thought I would throw it out there for others to ask. I have a 2010 G37S 6MT Sedan. Any help would be greatly appreciated it!

The Invidia Gemini will do that with just the catback, but will be more pronounced with high flow cats or test pipes (no matter which brand). It's just the nature of the exhaust.

I had Berk HFC and my Gemini and I loved the sound. I wanted something deeper and throatier under exhaust, but still compliant with sound cruising. Mine don't have the dampening tabs but DID come with the RTV sealant. I'm assuming mine are the first generation ones though and like many of the people here said over the last 5 months they will come around nicely after 1,500 miles

We are conveniently heading to ZDayz on Tuesday, so that will take no time at all. I loved the sound of cats, but these do have some added power on the butt dyno....it just makes me not wanna WOT cuz of the sound. Next week when I add 3,000 miles to my car I'll post back. Sad to go from 8,600 miles to 12,000 miles over the next couple weeks

For what it's worth, my hissing sound was mostly gone after a couple thousand miles. If you have the old style gaskets you may want to replace those before you get an exhaust leak, though.

Did you end up using some type of gasket where the ART pipe meets the headers, or did you use permatext copper?
