I used the copper stuff and it has been fine since then. The older style was a physical gasket that failed pretty quickly, but have since been discontinued.

When you put together a press release could you please expand on these a bit? It seems like you can mix and match, so it would be nice to know the pros/cons of each combination.

My pipes had a minor exhaust leak due to install, and are quieter after that was fixed. The guys at Z1 drove it around some, while I listened from outside. I have to say that I am impressed with...

The sound of my ART pipes has definitely started to change. The hiss has changed to more of what I consider a "traditional" rasp, but it's much quieter than before. It also sounds like all of the...

I did, after about 2 weeks. Haven't checked into it yet though (guess it's still possible that it could be something else, but we'll see).

They didn't actually hear it. They are just of the opinion that test pipes sometimes cause the y-pipe to make that hissing noise. I'll be interested to hear your testing results.
