Hi, i had them installed a few days ago. They sound amazing and i can feel the difference. Everything else is stock.

I have one question, there is a light buzzing/rattling noise. It doesn't happend a lot but it's there. I think it's the heat shield. I'm sure it is now caused after a few secounds or after a few minutes it goes away..

I can't lift the car and check caused I don't have a hydrolic lift yet. Hopefully next weekend I'll buy one and check why it's buzzing..

I'll let y'all know I find out...

 

ive never seen the newest version. you have pics?

 

OP you're supposed to shave off a bit of a bolt hanging from the driver's side shield. If you didn't do this that's why you have the buzzing bc the ART pipe is hitting that bolt under load. IIRC Tony @ MD has this in his instructions and on the big ART pipe thread it's been discussed.

 

The new version have mounting brackets on the tubes . I'm on my iPhone at work. I'll post pics when I get home .

 

uprev installed them. I hope they shave that off.
Well I will call them tomorrow or email them Tonight. I'll let y'all know what they say...

 

New ART pipes V2.1, designed to fit 5AT's better & slightly more TQ:

 

If uprev forgot to take off that bolt, would they have to take out the driver side art pipe again?

Or can I just take out the driver side tire and with a long skinny saw, cut the bolt off?

i have that buzzing noise too. but i have a 6mt. what is it from?

 

i think its bolt from the heat shield. i don't what to go back to uprev just to cut a bolt off, that if i cant do it on my own....

Does the 6mt has the bolt too?

 

no i dont think so i have tons of clearence but i have that buzz your talking about.

 

heat shield maybe?

I emailed uprev, ill let y'all know what he says....

The other thing it might be but im not sure, is worn out motor mounts?????

The buzzing only happens when i first turn on the car or when i rev up past 3k... but its not all the time thou, but it does happens often...

Damn those are sexy!!

 

could have an exhaust leak...

 

Hopefully it's just your heat shield bolt causing the buzz. I'm a 6MT and still get a buzz between 3-3.3k rpm...it's one of the reasons I'm ditching the ART pipes in the spring. Can't seem to find a fix, sound is coming from inside of mine.
