Had a deposit on a 2006 6.0L 6MT years ago before I had my 350Z. I loved it. But I do prefer a higher revving motor.

(I am much happier with the new design.)

And yes, the website is showing the correct list price. This new design costs more to produce but the $485 price will stay for a while.

Can't wait!!

+1 Almost there.

I was able to squeeze in a little more volume into the side branch resonators. Its in the favorable direction.

Also a little more packing material was fit into the end of the resonator.

Lastly, a hemispherical end cap is now being used as opposed to a flat disk. This helps to reduce shock reflections and the potential for rasp.

All that is left is final weld up and then its off to the ceramic coating facility.

Nice! Good to see a product develop even more.

hey guys just a question sorry for being noob or repeating a dumb question!

i found a dyno of baseline vs. xyz pipe on the 350z forum. At around 2k rpm there's a drop in torque what i wanna ask is
if i also have the ART pipes which increases tq at around that range, would a combo of art pipes + xyz pipe average out the loss from xyz pipe and gain from art pipes? as i saw from previous dynos there is a drop in power due to the xyz pipe at low ranges before there is an increase in power/trq

Motordyne · 04-30-2011, 11:29 AM

Yes, but for some reason every car responds differently to the same mod.

For example, most Z's and G's don't lose power @2K RPM with the XYZ pipe, but as you saw in the example you referenced sometimes it can. And I can't know why without being able to personally test the same car with the same set of modifications and start switching things around to figure it out.

Variations of dyno results can be seen in every class of breather mods and engine models. Its fairly normal. One thing I have seen is exhaust mods interact strongly with eachother. Both on the dyno results but even more so on the sound.

Those look great!... I so want these...

Will these be available for local pick up?

Anticipated date these are ready for sale? Gotta make sure I have money set aside when they do become available.

Man I was hoping these were going to be ready this week!

NeverBoneStck · 05-05-2011, 11:39 PM

Sitting at a light with windows down......fumes can be overwelming.

Sorry for the delay guys. The ART pipes are in polishing now. The ceramic coater had to design and fabricate plugs to go into the inlet and outlet of the ART pipes before going into the vibratory tumbler for polishing.
But they are being polished now and once they come out they will be coated and glazed in the furnace.

The fabricators new projection is ~Tuesday.
