Been following this for a while now. Hoping to the first X with these and be well over 300WHP.

if you don't have any HFC's or TP's you will be well over... if you have something already you will get at least a few hp over what you have now... but the throttle response is just the coolest part of the pipes, and it's got a really nice tone too!

Yea do not have anything, Stock cats :/. So hoping these will be a nice increase.

then you will feel a HUGE pickup of power, that is the most restrictive part

37drift any update???

Quick question guys.

I have a whine that developed after I got my motordyne art pipes and my 25 row oil cooler.

During high rpms I have this whine noise from front/mid of the car. I am thinking it it more of the art pipes. Art pipes are causing a turbine sound to form during regular street driving which I suspect is the same thing I am hearing at higher rpms (just more whinier).

Can anyone elaborate on this?

oil coolers will have a whine if you have the thermostatic plate and do not have the line covers and the lines are resting up against any part of the chassis.

what exahust do you have btw.

Invidia Gemini, I think it might be the pipes. Some guy with the ark was talking about a whistle at his X pipe, maybe the same thing with mine?

^+1 I've seen(heard) this before.

I have a whine but it's only noticeable in 6th gear when accelerating from like 3-5k Rpm.

Methodical4u · 09-08-2011, 10:43 PM

i've heard a whine in 1st gear right next to a wooden fence with no engine load... I think it's just the gears... never heard it at higher rpms though, and never loud.

kosstick · 09-08-2011, 10:58 PM

it sounds like a turbine lol, HEres a vid its a little hard to hear but lemme know.

Motordyne · 09-09-2011, 01:23 AM

Yep. That's the sound of the oil pump being transmitted through the hoses and into the chassis. Isolate the hoses from the chassis with a hose wrap or similar.

Got a good deal on some HFCs so I guess I'll be going ti the FI CBE instead of waiting for the Motordyne. I may get the m370 in the future though.

I didn't have any issues with swapping out different test pipes on this Z. Just make sure to unplug the battery before making changes so the car can adapt to it.
