We're in and ready to take you calls.

Nice talking to you Tony. Hopefully I can get these puppies on soon, they sound great!

Hey Tony, since the resonators are considerably longer and have a rounded end - will this have an effect on torque? If I'm not mistaken, theoretically, it should allow for area where torque peaks to be a little longer/wider?

I remember on the VQ35DE ART Pipes torque peaked very quick and then dropped off...I imagine with this redesign the jump in torque should hold longer and be smoother before dropping off?

Motordyne · 06-14-2011, 05:17 PM

That's exactly what it does.

AlphaSnacks · 06-14-2011, 06:02 PM

Awesome!

Has anyone developed a rattle in the revised art pipes?? The original set I had developed rattles and I sent them back .. Tony took care of me . The new revised set I have had on for about a mnth now has developed a driver side rattle in the art pipe. It is so freakin annoying ...

Is it a rattle inside the pipe or is the pipe or resonator hitting your heatshield or car anywhere?

Boost_lee · 06-18-2011, 06:49 PM

can you describe the rattle and when it happens?

Mine is making a noise too after a month. Sounds coming from the area of the art pipes. Sounds more of a fluttering noise. Hoping it's just something loose. Mine was a used set though.

I checked for all and any contact anything loose and the heat shield. The rattle is coming from the resonator. I was underneath the car and when you step on the gas it rattles loud. When the car idles it is very faint . The rattle is coming from the drivers side art pipe for now. My original art pipes welds failed. I waited for these and 1 mnth later here it is again ...

Are you installing your brace back after the ART Pipes go on? Exhausts are known to crack if you don't install the brace by the OEM Cats.

I talked to Tony about this and he said it is not necessary for the brace to be reinstalled.

So my SES light came on just now. Will take it to autozone to see if they can read it.

edit: so I guess it's illegal for autopart stores to read these codes now says the cashier.

The rattle is coming from the resonator.. It sounds like a failed weld and soothing came loose on the inside of the resonator.. Hopefully Tony can resolve this...

When I bought my used ART pipes, there were some black/gray materials rattling inside the pipes. I just thought it was some residue or something. Is this what you are referring to?
