I've heard even the resonated test pipes won't hold up with boosted Zs. It's all good though. I found a workaround and will be going with test pipes

Or take your OEM cats and knock the cats out of them. Wear a respirator.

Test pipes are cheap enough

I'd like to have the stock cats intact in case I ever need them.

Gutted cats are free and look like you've still got cats.

It was being discussed here.

Footloose301 · 05-30-2013, 08:16 AM

Anyone with experience with the Motordyne ART pipes and turbos? They're not a typical resonated test pipe...

That's nice and all but that's one persons opinion where do the pros sit in on this? Sam? Mike?

I've talked to a few shops and have a few boosted friends who run resonated TP's and have never heard of this issue before.

Tony from FI says he's concerned about them holding up also: link

I'd still be interested to hear GTM's opinion on it though.

Hotrodz · 05-30-2013, 09:25 AM

I have ART pipes and I was told by my tuner they will work just fine with the addition of a TT...and they install a lot of turbos.

elperuano · 05-30-2013, 10:25 AM

Yea man. HFC and TP near the turbos, will fry up sooner than later.

Dzel · 05-30-2013, 07:43 PM

Really? I'm gonna have to do some research but sound like I'm going to have to remove mine. What happens when they go out or what do you look for?

Yep, elperuano is correct, and once they start going, you're a BIT screwed, because the honeycomb is not gonna rattle and sit in your muffler. If you let it continue to burn up, you're going to ruin your muffler completely
