I'm really interested in the TDX2 with ART pipes combination, but worried about fumes. Are there any members out there with this setup or similar setup that can let me know in detail what it would be like? This is my daily driver and I want to keep it luxury, I don't want my passengers having to deal with fumes and what not.

Can you smell the fumes while driving with windows up? Down?

How bad are the fumes at a stop light with the windows up? Down?

If you have any info at all regarding this please let me know, I've been seeing a lot of mixed opinions and not too much detail on it in the forum and i'm really trying to make the decision.

 

I have fast intentions test pipes and the smell is really not as bad as some people make it out to be. I drive with my windows down 95% of the time and the only times I smell the fumes is if 1) I just started the car and I'm sitting there letting it warm up or 2) when I'm at a stoplight. Once you start driving, the smell goes away completely. This is all with windows down. I can only assume that with windows up, it would be much much less noticeable.

 

Okay I can say from personal experience with both TP and HFC.

I have Berk HFC right now and the smell is still unbearable... AND I am a state inspector so I deal with a lot of nasty fumes. I can only smell my fumes when..
1. Im starting up my car and letting it warm up
2. When I stop at a light
3. After driving and I stop anywhere and get out after I turn off the car.

I cant smell them when my windows are rolled at all though. Even with the AC on circulate.

For the TP, my friend has the megan tp paired up with the HKS exhaust and I can smell them ALL THE DAMN TIME. The smell is more poisoning to the nose vs HFC, but Im sure others would say other wise. Im prob. just being a lil girl but I couldnt stand it. The smell is DEF. stronger with the TP vs HFC. I could smell it when..
1. When he lets his car warm up
2. At a stop light with the windows up and down!
3. Even when driving I could smell it. Down or up.
