soo heres a quick video and honestly, this video does the exhaust NO justice. Infact it might even make it sound worse haha.

But in person, the exhaust has a deep rumble to it at idle and is pretty deep.

Btw does the test pipe need to be "broken in" or something for that metal sound to go away or is that normal for test pipes?

wait a second... why does both sound clips sound alike?! hahahah maybe its the camera distance / different revving rpms?

iono, all i know is the sound is pretty much the same just alot deeper and im pretty satisfied especially since the hks with the stock cats were a bit too quiet for me :P

So i just got back from driving around some more and the metal sound seems to be gone now after breaking the pipes in. The sound is pure sex.

Not to mention, i could probally pull a bus length on a TT supra something from a 10 mph roll now


Oh and on a side note, if any of you guys were thinking of getting the Arts pipe with the hks exhaust and HATE drone... well this has drone to it haha

With my tune we were able to pull around 15 hp, but it was 104 in the dyno room..... I'm sure that hurt numbers a little.

I think it ended up around 250 hp & 240 lb/ft, but I will say it was HOT in there and we pulled those numbers right at the end. Price was around $650 tuned.

The car pulls so nicely now, made a difference with the daily drivability.

Is the 650 just the tune itself it is that like the Osiris + tune?

And Jayk, mine actually came with no instructions. But is it the bolt by the heatshield? Because once it was installed and I drove off there was sonething hitting the resonators and i went back and got it back on the lift to see what it was. And yea the install cut part of the bolt off and now everything is great!

Oh and I have a 6MT. There's drone at me cruising 40 in 6th gear, as for before there was no drone with stock cats.

yeah thats why i asked about that bolt. looks like that was the exact issue.

i can understand droning driving 40 in 6th gear. mine would too.
bottom line... you should be in a different gear driving 40MPH. lol

the price now is the unpolished price. originally it was 650$ polished.
i paid the unpolished price but got a polished one due to the fact that he had a few polished ones left.
