My Nismo w/ AAM Short-tail exhaust

NickTurnon · 11-05-2012, 08:32 AM

I was under the impression that the ART pipes were quieter then most test pipes!

Maybe its the roar from those AEM's though... Idk.

I like the sound! I just couldn't have it for my DD.

Let us know if you tune it

awesome vid Bob!

Thanks guys! Nick, I had the same thought...but maybe it comes from the addition of the CAI as well. I only have a six mile commute to work and I'm seldom above 40 mph. so its not that bad as DD. I can milk it to keep most folks from thinking I'm another punk with a loud car. I'm fortunate to live in a town with a lot rods, mostly muscle cars, I get a lot of thumbs up from those guys.

"quieter" would be too subjective for them to really advertise but their biggest niche would be the ability to capture certain exhaust frequencies canceling out a lot of rasp/drone. So flow of test pipes without the additional hiss/rasp/drone

I've gotta give it up to the guys at Motordyne

Great observation Khoi, I totally agree with you on the quality of Motordyne's ART pipes. The sound is phenomenal!! I am noticing the sound to be mellowing (very throaty) some, less rasp and drone from the first couple of days.

great review. Any noticeable/loss in hp/tq?

Hotrodz · 05-24-2013, 11:42 PM

Nothing that is noticeable, but if you add a CAI and or HFC you will see noticeable gains. HFC or test pipes will be very loud....but awesome!

Your setup sounds awesome dude! I'm not quite there with you in your age bracket, but I am in the previous decade bracket and fully understand that type of passion for your NISMO.

Sidebar:

I lost a bolt and gasket in my TT-TDX while on the Dragon and it sounded horrible at idle and low (like < 2k) RPM, but sounded beast mode @ 5-6k RPM. I fixed the leak and it went back to normal. Time to make some mods........especially after hearing Hotrodz setup!
