ART pipes question
After having the MD tdx2 exhaust on for a few weeks I've decided to also get the ART pipes. I'm just concerned about any smells and any hurt in gas mileage? Will it make any smells after installation. Will it hurt my mileage if I drive under the same conditions.

It will smell. (because art pipes are Test Pipes and you DELETE your cats)
And ur gas mpg will go down because u will be enjoying the added power and torque by flooring ur gas pedal...

The smell will vary from person to person. As for me, I smell it every once in a while, but it isn't as bad as people make it out to be. I grew up around tinkering with straight piped V8 muscle cars so the smell is "normal" to me. The people who will smell it the most is the person driving behind you. Also, the smell is most noticeable comming to a stop with a tail wind for obvious reasons.
I've had test pipes on my car for over a year now. The only time I smell anything is if it's cold out, or if I punch it and the car runs a little rich. Oh, running 87 in the car will make it smell like a gas station, too.
