Timelapse:


The noise you hear when you let off the throttle that sounds like a metal ring is the fitment issues from the V1 art pipes. This was fixed in the V2 arts. My other videos with the sound clips have the fitment issues corrected. We fixed the fitment issue ourselves.

Ark + V1 Art Pipes


Takeoff:


Engine /exhaust mods:
Motordyne 5/16 Spacer
Throttle body spacer
Z tube
K&N Filter
Ark V2 Catback
Motordyne ART pipes V1

It's f'ing amazing. It got rid of 99% if not ALL of my rasp that my berks had, and the tone is VERY deep and aggressive.

The ART pipes I have were bought from a member of the forums, they're the V1's that had the fitment issues. We fixed the fitment issue, and it's 100% perfect now. It was pretty easy to fix also.



P.S. Ark tells you to install the extensions BEFORE the Y pipe. Forget that, install it AFTER the Y pipe and before the straight pipes. You get 100% perfect fitment, it got rid of all my fitment issues.

Thanks to hammad from HM auto for helping me with everything. wouldn't of been possible without him.

thats awsome to hear aa, i bet it feels like a weight lifted off of your shoulders. cant wait for the vid!

Included in the timelapse is a clip of the car with only the art pipes on....holy crapola...

wheres the vid???

Still editing. Sorry, that was meant to be another teaser .

your getting me all worked up! lol

Performance feedback on this setup?

Honestly, I'll have to report back with my butt dyno results tomorrow or in a day or two. I didn't really have time tonight to really go at it to test.

First video of After is up. Two more coming in the next hour!

I have to add, once the engine is warm, there is even less rasp.

all videos up

so how did you fix the hiss the v1 art pips make?

Very nice!!!!!!

well do you hear that metal noise that the first video had with the art pipes? it isn't hiss, it's the resonator from the art pipe touching the transmission. this is what the fitment issue was.

The hiss seems to only be there on cold starts, but once it's warm. theres virtually none. Even on cold starts, you can only hear the hiss around 7k to 8k RPM

To fix the V1 fitment issues, we heated up the joint of the resonator and slowly bent it away from the transmission. It took a lot of patience and a good amount of time. but it worked.

thats odd mine dont have fitment issues. mines also a 07. and i have the v1 arts

mine do slap around when i punch it tho. kind of worryed that i might break a weld.
