ART pipes sound stock:(

X2TheZ · 06-10-2017, 04:38 PM

I've been running no mufflers for the past month on my Nismo and it sounded pretty good. My Motordyne ART pipes came in and after installing them this car was LOUD!!! Too loud so I put the mufflers back on now it sounds stock even with the ART pipes! Anyone else disappointed with how little difference the sound is?

Art pipes will quieter down a lot after 400-500 miles on them or so.

ART pipes aren't meant to be louder. They're meant to maximize power and not be super loud and raspy like test pipes. The stock resonators and muffler will keep the whole thing quiet. If you added ARTs to an aftermarket exhaust you'd hear more of a difference.
If it's loud you want then regular test pipes are what you want.

I knew they wouldn't be loud but I thought I would definitely have a nice growl at WOT...
