MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

Motordyne · 06-27-2011, 01:45 PM

Hi Guys,

We apologize for the rattling issues and we are working hard to correct it. The ceramic coating process requires a pre cleaning process that washes and polishes the pipes in a ceramic bead slurry with soapy water.

We took measures to insure the beads could not get inside the pipes but if they still are, we will find an alternate process.

In any event, Motordyne stands behind its design and quality of workman ship. If there are any problems of any kind, with any of our parts we will take care of you and make it right.

Thank you for your patience,

Tony Colette

I'm getting a new pair of ART Pipes overnighted to my shop.

That's definitely working hard and making it right! Tony, you're still the man. This doesn't change a thing about my perception of Motordyne. Thanks for your help and immediate promptness, man.

I am hoping to hear some other cars with ART pipes and aftermarket CBEs. I'm interested to see what Motordyne comes up with on the exhaust front, but whatever it is will probably be too loud for my tastes anyway.

This is pretty much it man. The more free flowing the exhaust (true dual being the most, OEM with y-pipe being the least), the less hiss you'll have.. but then obviously the more noise your exhaust will produce (louder). Sucks doesn't it.

Hiccups are just part of being the first and greatest. Keep it up man.

Motordyne is awesome! I really can't wait to get my order in!

Tony,

My pipes are "on the truck for delivery" this morning. Plan to install this afternoon. Anything I can do beforehand to diagnose possible issues other than shaking the hell out of it? Compresses air maybe?

Once I get em on I'll post a before and after video comparing these with the Berk HFC, on my ARK exhaust. The Berks after break in are just too loud for my taste and have a real distinct rattle/tingy sound. Hopeful that the ART pipes solve that. I can live with a little hiss.

^I'm interested in this also. Should be getting my ART pipes this week. Would like to try to diagnose for bead rattle before they're on the car.

Will receive Art pipes sometime next week, and will have them installed I already have an amuse stti set up so it would be nice to hear that combo as well

Couldn't confirm it 100% - the sound traveled way too much. It sounded like driver's side more than anything. I replaced both yesterday, so far it's fine. I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping it doesn't happen again.

Spoke with Tony yesterday regarding my art pipes, He was initially going to send me some replacement ones this week, but after speaking to him last night it seems that they cut all of the pipes they had to check the beads and they found a few with them so they sent them back to be redone. So I am waiting till july 6th to see if they restock.
