Looking to buy these this weekend
Is everyone having issues with the latest ART pipes? I'm looking to install these on my stock exhaust and don't want any rasp or noise at certain RPMs like other test pipes.
Also will I need to tune my car after installing these?
I sent a message to Hydrazine but it seems like he hasn't logged into the site for a couple of weeks...

Assuming you have a 2004.5 or newer car, you will have widebands from the factory, so you can run it forever if you don't go full throttle (where it ignores wideband input)
Yes, the XYZ pipe replaces the stock Y-pipe, which is a great upgrade as the stock pipe is very restrictive.
The ART with XYZ was my first upgrade, worth it
(Well, spacer was, but yeah)

Installed the ART pipes last weekend and I have experienced a vibration noise around the 1-2k rpm mark when accelerating hard. I trimmed the bolt down that was said to be causing this vibration for others, and I still have the vibration. I changed my brake pads this weekend and got under the car again and looked at it, and I noticed that the heat shield was very close to the ART pipes and Im thinking that is what is causing the vibration sound Im hearing...Has anyone else had this problem? Could I trim the heat shield around the ART pipes or would that not be a good idea?

The ART pipes have 'turn' adjustment in them, which will change how close they are to the floor and how they align with the y-pipe, try re-adjusting them.
The bolts should pass through from the top, not the bottom as you have them now, also remember that those bolts should not be tightened right up, just snug, i think they have a ft-lb rating on them if you need it.

Hello,
I put ART V2 pipes on my stock exhaust with HR Y pipe and I have horrible rasp at 2500-3000 rpm. What can I do to help get rid of some of the rasp? I am not willing to buy a full exhaust but would be willing to buy an XYZ pipe with attachment if it will get rid of the rasp.

I was a bit mislead to believe there would be little to no rasp even with the stock engine...Hopefully this will help others...
Looks like I will have to buy the XYZ resonated pipe from MD...this went from a $600 upgrade to closer to $1k...wasn't expecting this

Do you think it would be okay to somehow place a piece of padding on the heat shield to help reduce the vibration noise or would that not be safe? I would assume it wouldn't catch fire or anything...?

It's kinda hard to adjust them, i've still to do mine again (i messed them up without realising it) You really have to have everything loose to do it properly, like not ever ginger tight, it's really important to tighten and align from the front and go back.
As for the closeness, are you sure it's even touching? i'd look into testing that theory first.
