Advanced Resonance Tuning (ART Pipes)
I should have these on by tonight. 0_o
There is another thread regarding my adventure in installing these pipes.
There is another thread regarding my adventure in installing these pipes.
Ok, I finally got these pipes on with the help of a friend. It is not that hard with the right tools and someone who actually knows what they are doing!
I have never dynoed my car( I know I know..), so unfortunately I will not have those kind of results to share with everyone. But I will be getting UpRev Tuned soon, so I will post up my dyno sheets then.
I can't really say anything that hasn't been said regarding these pipes! When I received the pipes they were well-packaged, upon removal of the pipes I noticed the beautiful welds. The quality is top-notch for sure. I am very happy with the purchase, and I can't wait to feel my car after it's first tune. I went from the stock cats to these pipes, so the difference in power is VERY noticeable. I find myself shooting out of stop lights now, and I am just driving how I always have in this car. The low-end to mid power is easily the best part of the new found power. I drive an automatic, so I really want all the low-end power I can get.
My Stillen intake now has a very pronounced whistle while the car is shifting, it sounds pretty sick(like a bov). There was only a slight whistle before, and it did not whistle in-between shifts.
I plan to try and reset the ecu later today, the pedal-dance got the best of me last night. Hopefully resetting the ecu will clear my CEL, because I was under the impression that these would not throw a CEL.. 
I have one last thing to say. Of all my previous mods(5/16 spacer,intake,M2P MCR exhaust,grounding wires
) this is easily the best. I did feel the spacer when installed, but the butt-dyno on these pipes is off the charts.
Thanks James for helping me out, and thanks Tony for a great product!

I went to Autozone and the error read MAF-something or other, so i had the error cleared and the CEL has not come back.
I think the battery might have been connected before the MAF , so I'm sure the CEL was my fault.

they dont fit? anyone tried?
AFAIK all the HFC that work for RWD fits w/o a problem on the AWD cars.
slowly it seems like MD is not NO AWD brand =(

Possibly. The ART pipes were tried on a AWD FX35 and it was reported that it didn't clear the AWD transmission, so it is unlikely it will fit any AWD vehicle.
