Very nice numbers and nice present. Still waiting to install mine..

 

Double post ... Stupid iPhone.

 

Looks familiar. Keep an eye on that drivers side heat shield stud. It will clear but when the engine moves at a certain rpm (2500) for me, I could hear it hit. Congrats, they sound really good in 2nd and 3rd gear in my auto.

 

Jus gotta follow instructions and clip the stud a lil but should fit fine

 

i dont believe mine even came with instructions, not that they should really be needed anyway.

 

Heck yeah Santa was good to him, just wish he would make a round our way as well! Congrats man! looking for some test pipes myself.

 

Update: just put them in today pretty rediculously loud and i think i need an mrev2 to top it off will update w soundclip tomorrow everyone must get it easy install did it myself w little experience

 

How long did it take to install? I assume you're using something to override the rear oxygen sensor so it doesn't trip a CEL due to the fact that there are no Cats on the car and it's blowing straight un-catalyzed exhaust out to the second half of the exhaust?

I'd love to get these pipes on my car next year, but I Mass. is very strict about exhaust modifications when it comes to getting an inspection sticker, and I'd hate to have to switch my cats back in every single year when inspection time rolls around. It might not be too bad the first time, but after 2 or 3 years of that... it would get old really fast(They won't pass you if you have a CEL on or if the ECU isn't in the READY state here in Mass).

 

Im right below you in RI. I plan to just get inspection and then swap pipes. Two year later ill swap them back off.

 

You guys don't have to do an OBD-II test every year in RI? Must be a Quahog thing..... maybe Quagmire is running the inspection stations down there and will let you get away with just testing it every other year if you "do a little something for him"... LOL.

We used to do emissions every other year in Mass back in the days when they put a sniffer in your exhaust.... but now they hook it up to the OBD-II scanner every single year. What a huge pain in the a$$ that is to the tuning community!

 

We do the OBD 2 test but only have to do it every two.

 

no CEL with the ART's. not sure why. for me, pre install dyno, install, and redyno was about 1.5 hours total. actual install was about an hour. i did pre treat the header bolts with penetrating oil the day before though.

 

No cel for me so far and i drove it about 50 miles its stupid loud tho hope i pass nys inspection in the spring

 

im from ny and i have art pipes, do they do emissions testing?

 

Im pretty sure they dont, obd 2 is the only thing they use. I think they just check if the monitors are set and
