If you came from stock cats you won't notice a huge low end TQ improvement.. but you will notice the top end improvement. If you come from test pipes, it will be the opposite: you'll notice a huge low end TQ improvement but not any top end improvement.

The only way to have an exhaust with absolutely no rasp or hiss, from every Z I've ever seen personally, is to use stock cats. It's as simple as that. Sadly, there are trade-offs when it comes to modding.. that's just how it is. For all the power you're gaining you have to give up a little something. The hissing on these things is EXTREMELY minimal compared to test pipes.

Any ideas what this could be? It's a constant metal noise. I've recorded it. Uploading the video now.

This is probably a loose ceramic coating bead that got into your ART Pipe when they were making it. Tony already mentioned this earlier in the thread. Did you not read it? ...

I would try to figure out exactly where the noise is coming from first, then go from there. If it's something inside the ART Pipe, I'm pretty sure Tony will take care of you. GL.
