issue & rasp after ART pipes

mwhit02 · 01-10-2013, 06:00 PM

I called a shop today (Lutz Performance in Tampa, Florida) and they wanted $200 to put exhaust wrap on the test pipes because they said they would have to take the pipes back off in order to wrap them. I asked why and they said "how else are you going to get the exhaust wrap roll around the pipes"

I said I would just do it myself.

Is 2" exhaust wrap too wide for the bend in the test pipes?
And is 15ft enough for both pipes?

I found this: http://www.jegs.com/i/DEI/186/010129/10002/-1?sendroicid=bbef8492-2d00-41d6-b158-38db0de2603c&catargetid=1716046196&sendroikwd={key word}&gclid=CJHR0cCB37QCFRQcnAodfQcATw

2" is fine and 15feet if done correctly will cover 1 of them.

I have not one complaint. Great sound and good performance combination.

My ART pipes have the metallic sound under acceleration too, but I just figured it comes with the territory. It sounds more like gravel in a tin can to me.

That doesn't sound anything like mine, mine just sounds like someone saying, "Shhhhhhhhh"

Just installed Berk Test Pipes and I get the same hiss. Don't know about a "metallic" sound, though

mwhit02 · 01-24-2013, 08:39 PM

I installed exhaust wrap on the test pipes, and I still get the hiss during decel (around 2500rpms) and when I floor it, it still sounds metallic-y

I'll trade you HFCs and cash for them

I had hiss on art pipes with fi cbe too.

Now that I'm running the motordyne cbe with art pipes, no more hiss that I can hear

shaun66 · 01-24-2013, 10:04 PM

Anybody go from just E370 to E370+art pipes? How much louder does it get? I don't mind it at all right now just don't want to make it annoying.

Just installed my ART's... LOTS of rasp.. Saving now for the FI cat back with Res.
I'll post vids later.
