Read in one of the posts that the ART pipes do not have RASP, someone posted a review right after they were released.

what exhaust does the ART pipe do not have RASP with?

Well, obviously the MD TDX2, but most systems will be fine. It's the restrictions (i believe) that cause the rasp, so most open systems will be fine.

The ART pipe itself doesn't have rasp, but bear in mind that it's a test pipe, so straight through pipe, but with two huge advantages over normal TP's *and* most HFC's;

1) Doesn't lose low end power and torque like a normal TP/HFC
2) Doesn't rasp like a normal TP/HFC

Make that 3 :)

3) Doesn't increase the volume massively either, does add a nice subtle deep tone.

I ended up buying a sheet of blank exhaust gasket material (metal, not cork) and cutting it to shape with a rotory tool cut off wheel. I used the factory crush gasket as template for hole diamter and the ART pipe flange as the template for outer shape and bolt hole locations. I made two of these custom gaskets and the seal worked perfectly.

that's a good DIY for good gaskets.
Z1 is also selling some good metallic gaskets

Hi all, I spent a few weeks speaking with Tony about the stock gasket style adjustment for the ART pipes but I couldnt wait longer.

I bought a set of the Z1 metal gaskets ($40) and they are amazing. My leaks are completely gone on my Z1 test pipes (same style flange without ring seal as the V2 and V1 ART pipes).

Highly recommended, especially opposed to replacing the whole test pipe setup! They are extremely thick, same setup as is used on heavy duty turbo flanges.
