I recently put in a MD 5/16th spacer and was hoping to get a little more power out with these test pipes at the low end. Is it worth the money to invest in these test pipes? I've seen DYNOs for it but wanted to hear from real experience. Also, would I be able to do this at home on jack stands or is a lift required? Thanks guys.

 

check out the ART pipes thread thats in the Intake and exhaust thread. There's plenty of info there

 

^ this... and YES.. they are worth it...

 

I def think they are worth it. I was going to try and install them with car ramps.. Ill tell you how that goes once I actually buy them, but there appears to be enough room to get there if your willing to get dirty.

 

They are worth the price and they can be installed at home on jack stands. Just make sure you have the tools and take your time. Only took me a couple of hours, pretty straight forward install.

 

yes they are worth it.

 

Thanks guys. I been reading up in the exhaust forums. Should be able to get it done on jack stands with the right tools like extenders, etc. I hope it doesn't sound too raspy/drone with the stock exhaust. I want it more for the power benefit than the sound.

 

To those who already purchased the MD ART pipes...do they come with new bolts and gaskets?

 

yes

 

Stupid question I think and don't b sarcastic please but I hav a stillin true dual exhaust and Im interested in ART pipes, do they come as a pair for $585 or 1 for $585

 

lol they come in pairs...i dont think anyone here would pay 1000 for test pipes............

heh.....


......right???

 

Most of the restriction in our exhaust systems is in the OE cats so Motordynes ART pipes will give you RWHP gains. If you still running the OE exhaust system you my have rasp issues since it isn't designed to handle the extra volume...Gary

 

Im thinking of getting an aftermarket Y pipe with the ART pipes to help with the little amount of rasp. I think itll sound perfect....

 

I never experienced rasp with ART pipes on my OEM exhaust. ART pipes are a solid choice.

 

Motordyne's ART Pipes are an excellent choice over HFCs which aren't worth the $$ especially BERK'S! MDs y-pipe is far better than any other on the market, combine the two and you have 1/3 of a great exhaust system....Gary
