Calling All Motordyne ART owners
 

So i keep starting new threads, But i have 24 hours before i decide which exhaust to put my money down on.
I have the ART pipes and for now, I have regretted them because they are causing a massive rattle on my exhaust (Akrapovic)

Selling My CBE tomorrow. And ill get home and put my money down on something or the other.

For Now Its between Motordyne CBE And Fast Intentions CBE.
If you do have the ART pipes please mention your exhaust and your little review on that setup. I would like to avoid rasp and drone if possible.
I have read through some reviews and motordyne CBE does not hold enough gains. I personally think its too expensive, I would definitely get it if i have to but it would be sad if their gains are NIL (Yes the akrapovic was expensive too but i was too excited to care)


Since i have never seen an Akrapovic Exhaust Review on the 370z,
Ill just leave my comments here

I got the Akrapovic immediately after i got my car. They are expensive and i landed up purchasing the Carbon fiber tips also.
They fall more on the silent side but they are absolutely fantastic.
DO NOT MATE THEM WITH MOTORDYNE ART PIPES. EVER.

Please help me decide. Would appreciate any comments or advice.
Cheers

Have you thought of just getting a hfc instead? Maybe a cheaper option and still keeping the Akra.

Fast intentions, Have never read a bad review about anything they build

haha yea i did. I think akra is a great exhaust. But i would prefer something a little louder.
Fast Intentions seems to be the best thing for the buck and yea i have never read a bad review about them.
However i am not worried about the Quality of the product but about the fast intentions mating with the ART pipes.

I am for some reason finding an exhaust thats more compatible with the ART's.
Hopefully someone here has managed to mate the ART's with something that doesnt create a rattle ?
or so i hope.

Let me throw out another option for you :icon17:

Quick review herehttp://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...installed.html

http://www.the370z.com/intake-exhaus...ke-setups.html

I have ART and FI non res carbon fiber. I love how it sounds. I'm willing to bet E370 and ARTs sound even better. It's a win/win from my point of view.

Sorry for granny shifting. I was grinding before I changed fluids so I had to go real slow. In the video, I had 18" res at the time.

I added ART pipes to my Borla cat back and it's on the edge of too loud. The Borla is a true dual with no resonators. It has a deep tone to it. Adding the ART pipes is giving me an unwanted drone for around 2k rpm. At idle and WOT, it sounds great. At highway speeds it easily tolerable, but around town driving can be annoying at points. I am planning to pick up some fast intention rhfc for comparison. I liked the Borla with stock cats, but wanted to free up the exhaust, keep the deep tone and raise the volume. The ART pipes did that, but maybe too much. I don't have any rattle issues, but there is a slight rasp at times.

That helped. I personally do want to go for Fast intentions because of the rep that they have managed to create.
As long as you say theres no rattle, I am sold. However the wait for 10-12 weeks lol. Thats so freaking long, Specially now that i am about to sell the akrapovics.

I love Fast Intentions, but if I had to do it again, I would try Motordyne E370.

Any particular reasons ? or just bored of your exhaust ?

i preferred changing my exhaust because even though it was a great exhaust, It just wasnt loud enough.

I do prefer loud myself but i cannot go all out on it because the rules here are a bit iffy and theres only so much i can push them
Also i cant seem to justify E370's price specially with some previous reviews i read here that claimed no horsepower etc.
The sound of the E370 does sound orgasmic

Don't get me wrong. I really love my Fast Intentions. I drove behind a friend in his G37 w/ Motordyne and fell in love. Since I've gone non-res., I love the sound of FI even more w/ ART pipes. I do like that FI has a much deep tone.

1-10
10 being the loudest in sound terms, What would you rate your friends g37 against your FI with ART ?

I dont want to spend on CBE again. I am saving for turbo lol, NEED BOOST
and thats another reason i switched exhausts, I wanted a true dual

I found this video from Motordyne. It shows how the Motordyne exhaust and ART pipes sound together. Sounds kind of exotic if you ask me. Loud when stepping on it, but not loud at all when cruising.

This review thread should put your doubts on an E370 to rest

Hard to say. I was in my car so it would always sound loudest to me. A drive-by would need to be done to compare.

Is motordyne's website the best place to buy or are they any vendors you recommend ?

What is this HFC module etc ?
Is it some kind of adjustment that you can do on the exhaust or do you have to order some other stuff too ?

Hahah did mag black and I finnaly had you convinced? :stirthepot:

Almost every vendor here carries Motordyne products, you can try pm'ing a few for their best prices. The top vendors on my list that i've had the pleasure of doing business with are FBnissan, corner3garage, and joe@zspeedperformance.

haha maybe :D
but not yet. I will order only tomorrow in the night. Just reading up on every piece of material i can find
but what is this hfc module, Apparently you can umm quieten the exhaust but i dont know where i saw that information
TSK

I posted a couple videos of my ART pipes with Borla Exhaust HERE

NuGen and FBNissan had the best prices when I asked for quotes. They are both vendors here. I finally decided to get the Fast Intentions carbon fiber instead.

I think you may be thinking about Motordyne's XYZ pipe? You can add HFC module to it or keep it a straight pipe.

There are 2 exhaust out there that sound awesome with art pipes and no noises or rasp. I have owned almost every exhaust and will list for u in order.


Fastintentions
HKS
Borla
Magnaflow
Ark
Invidia
Motordyne
Fastintentions CF

Out of all these exhaust FI and Invidia sounded the best. The most disappointing one was Motordyne for a lot of reasons. If u can't wait for FI order the Invidia..

I love my invidia exhaust! Awesome tone to it - no rasp/drone. If you want an obnoxiously loud exhaust it's not the one for you though.

Recently added Momentum headers and Motordyne ART pipes to my Invidia Gemini exhaust. It's crazy how much it changed the sound from having stock headers and FI HFC's. Sounds like the exhaust out back got super quiet (hard to explain). I hear a bit of the hiss now unfortunately, but not as bad as I remember with my friend's FI LTH's. Still very little drone/rasp, and it sounds awesome when I get on it with most of the exhaust sound coming more from up front now. I'll have to get some video to explain it better.

^thinking about going this route as well. Looking forward to vids.

I just got a quote for motordynes shipping lol
Its costing me half the price of the exhaust to ship it lol

This is.so confusing.
Does invidia compare to the gains from other brands ?
Would it support tt application..
My akra is gonna be pulled off my car soon
Sad day it is

Really? Why was Motordyne exhaust dissapointing? From the youtube videos, the Motordyne sounds awesome with very little drone. Isn't it a true 2.5" dia piping as well?

I'm running FI and FI test pipes and the drone is annoying at 2K-3K (highway cruising). Thinking of trying out Motordyne with the FI test pipes. Maybe I just need to have a muffler shop custom fab some donkey dicks on the exhaust.

Hello future370zzz

Motordyne fitment for the G was the worst of all the exhaust I owned. It hangs low and the y-pipe would rattle against the frame. The motordyne exhaust actually lost power compared to the Invidia. We tried to get it back with a tune but could not. It is extremely loud and has a drone and hiss as well. Welds are not impressive and and the metal used in the exhaust is thin. So u factor in the almost 2000.00 price tag and what u get I would buy either the FI or Invidia any day hands down. Their Art pipes are questionable as well. I sold mine.

Ohhhh, good to know. I thought the donkey dicks on the motordyne would fix all the drone but I guess not.

here's a few of my 2 fast intention set-ups.

non-res TP/non-res CBE




straight pipes

Invidia or Ark ?

Deep sound. Loud enough when i go wot but nice lil rumble while driving ?
Dinkey dicks out of the question. Only camels here.
Which one

Read the Motordyne review and nothing but rave review about the sound and craftsmanship.

The donkey dicks (helzmotlz resonators) are on the exhaust not inside you so no homo. haha

What is the esimated power gain with this motordyne CBE with ART pipes if everything else on your car is stock?? What's the difference if you add an intake system on top?!

Around 30hp.
