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.

Oh wow... I was told again this fri.. Now next tue... Wow ..

looks good!

Z1804 · 05-17-2011, 08:50 PM

That looks AWESOME!!!

AlphaSnacks · 05-17-2011, 10:23 PM

Nice!!

I can see the Helmholtz Resonator is a bit longer with a rounded-off end, instead of the flat one like before.

Can I give you my money for it already? Please say yes.

aadosx · 05-17-2011, 10:51 PM

Interesting.. so tell me about this ceramic coating!

Also are you going to test these compared to the older pipes to see the differences in power and sound?

Motordyne · 05-18-2011, 09:27 AM

These ART pipes are ceramic coated for an extra layer of oxidation resistance for the stainless steel tubes.

Stainless steel can always be polished to a "T" at the time of manufacturing but once its put on the car and driven it will tarnish and turn brown.

The ceramic coating however cannot be made to oxidize because it is already in a highly oxidized state. The ceramic coating will provide extra salt resistance, reduce heat under the floor board and it keeps a much cleaner appearance over time.

The difference on the dyno will be slightly better than the prior design but not by much. It does however have a noticeably quieter and deeper tone.

We can certainly arrange for a series of independent comparative dynos tests and sound clips.
