dang didnt even realize v2 was already out. oh well i'll live without the low end torque and upgrade to v3 whenever that comes

 

Anyone got the V2 and with a 5AT? How's fitment? I have V1 and one of the resonators touches the transmission pan.

 

Personally I didn't notice much of a difference going to the V2 arts from berks HFC. I did get back some torque but just a little. I honestly believe that its due to my altitude being 6900ft above sea level I don't notice the gains as others would.

I have a 5at and had no issues rubbing the tranny. Perfect fitment, looks like the round design allows for more clearance.

 

Tony is fixing it now.

I just installed my ART V2's and it sounds great. Way quiter than my old Megan TP's. I can feel a lil more tq down low when I accelerate. I will post a video once its broken in.

 

for the ones who installed the ART pipes, coming from stock.. was there a HUGE difference in low end torque? i know the dyno's show, but can you tell the difference?

 

Without a doubt, I removed my ART pipes to get my car smog and my car seems gutless w/out the extra torque..

 

It depends on how low you are referencing to. At very low RPM the stock cats make more. At low RPM the ART's make more.

And the ART's always make more TQ than test pipes or hfc's at any RPM.

 

Actually turns out my car had a SES code that never threw a CEL for U1000 (ground issue) and I cleared that, huge torque gains. Holy crap lol.

Throughout the power band my car just squats and takes off now with the v2 pipes.

The low end torque is great and a huge improvement over stock and berks HFC.

Arts > Berks anyday.

 

I installed my 3.5 vlsd shortly after my art pipes so low end torque is instant, I can roast tires pretty easily now, before the new gears I don't remember......haha

 

What if ya add headers to the mix?
Headers
Art pipes
STILLEN exhaust?

Even more rasp I presume?

 

Yo I dont wanna hijack the thread, Plus Im going to a meet & I gotta detail the G. So I got no time to type.
I had that same Rasp problem with the same exact set up. The rasp will be completely gone if you follow these instructions exactly,
I cant find the thread on Driver as to show you . but call me and i'll give you the info, really cheap fix,

Somehow I 'missed the memo" on all those threads. Thanks --- btw, you don't look like a "Bill"

 

he doesnt look like a "Butkiss" either... he looks like he'll kick some @ss if someone crosses him wrong - but in really he's one of the coolest, nicest dudes you'll meet (and apparently you have)

BTW, Bill - how's Momma doin'?.... your bambino isn't here yet is he/she?

 

Not yet Mike , 4 more months , Got a boy coming!
