Hey all. I've been running my MD ART V2s for a while now, and absolutely love them. The problem is, the girlfriend hates the noise and smell of the ARTs (she has a really sensitive nose).

I'm thinking of Dynamatting the trunk and rear seats to cut down on the noise in-cabin, but that won't do anything about the smell.

As far as I can tell, my option for cutting out the test pipe smell is to go back to cats. So, I've been looking at the Fast Intentions Resonated High Flow Cats. My question is, has anybody moved from the ARTs to these RHFCs? If so, what was the difference in noise/smell?

If there's another way to get rid of the test pipe smell, I'd be all for it, but I don't think there is.

 

Have you tried making your gf take the bus?

 

Lmao!

 

I thought about that, but the stank from jerseytaylor's mom just upsets her nose even more. Seriously though, people. Any help is appreciated.

 

just keep them lol...imo theyre your best option. you already love them plus their quality and performance gains prob arent gonna be beat.
just my humble opinion

 

Thanks for the opinion, but the pipes are being replaced. I know I'll likely see a performance hit, but that's not the point. Just looking to hear impressions of others who have made the switch.

 

You're selling your ART pipes.....PM me price shipped to 80303

 

ARTs won't be sold until early-April probably. I'll keep you in mind though.
