I'm so on the fence regarding the ART pipes. Can I please get some updates as far as CEL's, rattles, leaks and any other concerns that I should be aware of, also what has been done to resolve these issues if there could be a resolution. A big plus would be to hear from anyone that has them with my same exhaust system, sound and performance wise.
Thanks in advance,
TommyGuns

CEL fixed. The steel wool was overkill.
The graphite gasket was replaced with high temp gasket maker so it doesn't oxidize.
The rattle was fixed with the addition of the bracket.

As for sound it depends on what exhaust system it is connected to but in every case regardless of what it is connected to, the ART pipes are much quieter than regular resonated test pipes.

I just finished my third "fix". Now I removed the gaskets entirely and used only RTV so we'll see how that goes. I haven't yet removed the steel wool because my car was tuned with the steel wool so I'm confident my CEL is coming from the leak only.
