Advanced Resonance Tuning (ART Pipes)
#16
They are significantly quieter than regular test pipes and they cut drone. They also add a very, very deep, but subtle, harmonic to the sound. So deep, its approaching infrasonic.

WOW, you are one smart cookie! Shame all of your hard effort gets lost in the cost perspective of others. I think you hit the nail on the head about being a benefitial part for racers and power seekers. The numbers seem to highly suport your claims of extra low end grunt which is great for racers digging out of turns and such.
Is this the same thing you tried to achieve with your newest exhaust configurations as well? Also when can we hear the difference in the sounds as you mentioned.

In fact, it would be a good test to see standard HFC's on a XYZ tested against the ART pipes with the XYZ cat.
Cost of the two setups will be roughly the same but I know which one will perform better.

Fantastic work Tony.
I know its hard to speculate, but in terms of sound, how much of a difference are we talking about compared to resonated test pipes? If this can reduce rasp and drone, yet still see increases in terms of performance... they are in my wishlist
Do you manufacture your parts all in high polished stainless steel? Or do you offer a non-polished stainless steel option? That would probably cut some cost and make it less obvious to a cop that peaks underneath the car.
Kudos to your R&D!
