MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

b1adesofcha0s · 08-29-2011, 09:03 AM

Have you guys focused on weight reduction at all for the new exhaust? That's one of the very few things I don't like about my Berk, it adds weight over the stock exhaust. I don't want some crazy expensive Titanium exhaust, but something that weighs less than stock (like the FI) would be great. I know it probably won't make much of a difference, but always better to reduce weight than to add it

I have a feeling the Motordyne will be the best exhaust out there...

I do too. I already have a friend ready to buy my exhaust if I make the switch.

Best thing is I won't lose any money on it because of the price I bought it for.

Question,, will the pipes work with the GTM stage 2 SC, will they hit the SC ?

Same guess here.

Yeah, F.I. and Motordyne will likely have the most power outputs... i'm interested to see what ARK's systems does as well.... I have to say though after having the ART pipes, I just feel Tony will find a way to make more power with his exhaust set-up(s).

brucelidat · 08-29-2011, 06:30 PM

Any idea or estimate for when this system will be done? I was pretty sold on the ART pipes until I read about the smell so I really want to see how it'll be with their CBE.

Also, I don't prefer too much noise (drawing unwanted attention and annoying people at night) so if there is a less noisy/more stealthy option like IF has with their 18" resonators, that would be awesome.

A group buy when they are released would be nice too.

Footloose301 · 08-29-2011, 06:51 PM

The smell is not annoying at all and it's caused on all test pipes because its unrestricted.

Also, I highly doubt the exhaust will be loud or raspy. The ART pipes make LESS noise than high flow cats!!! They're almost like stock cats. Seriously.

brucelidat · 08-29-2011, 07:02 PM

Yeah, but if the CBE is coming soon, I might just wait and do both at once. My gf might not be too happy about me releasing bad (uncatted) fumes as well which she'll notice from the smell, haha.

all test pipes without cats will have the smell. Some HFC which are extremely low cell count can give this smell also.

the motordyne exhaust will have multiple options so people can tailor it to their wants. I believe tony mentioned things like straight piping the middle = louder, resonated = mid, catted for no smell and quieter.

Footloose301 · 08-29-2011, 07:11 PM

Yep. I'm going to pick up the resonated as long as its atleast 2.5" and hopefully its rather light weight or has "cool" options such as carbon fiber mufflers.

Dyno's are a must. Seems like Tony is doing his homework here and I'm sure he'll have some graphs to salivate over.

brucelidat · 08-29-2011, 07:12 PM

Yeah, I am interested in catted one to go along with the test pipe for no smell. I don't mind if the volume isn't high as long as there's a low growl/rumble.

So any idea on an estimated release date, Motordyne? =D

Probably looking at 2012.

daisuke149 · 08-29-2011, 07:17 PM

I dont wanna speak for Tony, but I think he was looking to do a dyno shoot out for diff exhausts. Other than that I believe he said that he would rely upon dyno's done by people to show the gains.

Footloose301 · 08-29-2011, 07:23 PM

Darn. I know I'll test it if it looks and sounds good. If he can verify "No Rasp" like Fast Intentions then I'm interested.
