MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

brucelidat · 08-31-2011, 01:30 AM

All I really need to know is if the exhaust system will have a catted option to go with the ART pipes. If so, an estimated date would be great and I would be eagerly awaiting the results. If not, then it's another exhaust system and HFCs for me. Just let me know that so I know whether or not to wait for it. I really like your ART pipe gains, but need the cats to neutralize the smell so it's catted exhaust or no go for me on the ART pipes. So if you have no plans at all for a catted exhaust system, please let me know so I can not be waiting for it only to be disappointed.

If an exhaust is going to have cats, it's going to most likely be in the stock position, as stated before the XYZ pipe from Motordyne has a cat option and I believe Tony has an exhaust set-up in the works for that pipe. The ART pipes are a test pipe though and that is where your stock o2 sensors are plugged in.

Not arguing here, but why do you think this has to be the case? HFC's have been failing left and right, and Tony has already explained that putting a HFC further down the line will extend its life due to lower exhaust temperatures. Plus, it would retain the incentive for people to buy his ART pipes.

Yes. There will be cats built in as an option.

Awesome, so when might we be expecting these to become available?
