I sure hope not lol, i haven't had any signs of oil consumption since i use synthetic engine oil i usually have to add 1 quart after 3k which is normal but the smoke has faded slowly i use to see lotsof white smoke now i only see small trails than the past few days.

Butkiss1: What happened bud, I remember when I bought your sport suspension you were so enthusiastic about your G! I'm sure the love will come back around, you're prolly just upset for not getting the results you wanted from your latest round of mods or something... i hope![Dunno](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/dunno.gif)
Back to OP's Subjuect: To the ones running the ART pipes - How bad is the ART smell after 1,000 miles break-in period? Some say it's really bad some say it's not that bad/you get used to it. Is it recommended for daily driving? I'm second doubting that since I don't want to inconvenience my co-workers and attract cops... i've tried to find someone in South Florida that has them so I can check in person but haven't been able to find anyone....it would also be nice to hear in person the "harmonic" sounds that MD describes... even though that by ppl's description it just sounds like another term to describe this item making the exhaust note quieter....

The ART pipes are good in power and deep sound, now as far as Smell,its smells horrible like burning oil and smokes up abit the 1st few day since they use oils to help bent the pipes while making them and to avoid being rusted while sitting.The smell should fade away not completely but it mellows down after 1k or 1500miles..but which test pipe set up doesn't smell the 1st time? non they all smell bro so don't worry.

Nope . this mod will slow you down, save your cash & invest in a Vortec supercharger![Drivingskid](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/drivingskid.gif)

While I agree that going with a vortech is a cheap way to make a lot of power, the risk of you blowing your engine with it is far more greater than just staying with bolt-ons.

From the outside, the smell is pretty bad, or so my friends who drive behind me tell me lol. No problems with the law so far though, and I've had cops in car's and motorcycles behind me. Obviously you take it easy on the throttle when a cop is near.
As for the harmonic sound, that's really difficult to describe. The best way I could think of describing it was that it "mellows" it out. I know that's not much help lol.
