Did you not have test pipes or high flow cats previously?

What mini tripod did you end up buying?

g2z - Those look really nice! I just realized that my Anons had 1/2 of one of the insignias popped off and it made me sad. I think I'll go back to wearing my Oakley Juliets!

I had GTM resonated test pipes. My **** was soooooo raspy and loud. I hated it. If I did 90mph then I got a headache. Not to mention all the torque I lost. These Motordyne pipes are no joke. It's almost like I have stock cats but a lot more power and its a lot deeper too.

So how do the Motordynes compare in sound to the stock cats? Their website said they are a little louder, but deeper. They also state that they are way quoted than test pipes and also quieter than HFCs.

Exactly as you put it. They are slightly louder(not much at all) than stock cats, but a lot more powerful. I haven't used HFC's, but my GTM resonated test pipes were ridiculously loud. These Motordyne ART pipes really tame the exhaust note. Its deeper than stock cats too. This is one of the best purchases I've made so far. Supposedly theres a 1500 mile break in period at which they will actually be a bit quieter and deeper. I can't wait. However, I've only gone like 20 miles on them so far. I'll check back with you guys after it gets tuned on the 12th.

Seems like my GTM non resonated TP's where not bad at all. The only time my exhaust got loud and raspy was when I removed the silencers. But I love it. Not for just anyone.

Yeah i love my juliets. Those are classic. I have the ducatis.

So question for u guys. Is it possible to run these motordyne pipes with my invidias and not need a tune? I have stock intakes with wix filters. And these pipes come with cats? And purpose is simply sound and slight power increase?

Hey Happy, were you on Motordynedynamics.com? I tried to get more info on these pipes as the details posted here got me interested...but their site has like no extra description

anything for a bit more power and deeper exhaust note I'll do

Motordyneengineering.com I think......

I installed mine yesterday and they're great. I gained a lot more torque and it's almost too quiet now but that's fine with me. Less attention from cops. It's very deep now too. I'd say they're worth the money. A bit pricey but you won't regret it.

Actually, I was on Motordyne Engineering's site.

Intake/Exhaust Components - MotorDyne Engineering.

Before you go changing up your exhaust notes, I think it would be beneficial to your fellow man to get (and post) you current setup!

Do you guys running test pipes live in states that do emissions testing?
