All I really need to know is if the exhaust system will have a catted option to go with the ART pipes. If so, an estimated date would be great and I would be eagerly awaiting the results. If not, then it's another exhaust system and HFCs for me. Just let me know that so I know whether or not to wait for it. I really like your ART pipe gains, but need the cats to neutralize the smell so it's catted exhaust or no go for me on the ART pipes. So if you have no plans at all for a catted exhaust system, please let me know so I can not be waiting for it only to be disappointed.

If an exhaust is going to have cats, it's going to most likely be in the stock position, as stated before the XYZ pipe from Motordyne has a cat option and I believe Tony has an exhaust set-up in the works for that pipe. The ART pipes are a test pipe though and that is where your stock o2 sensors are plugged in.

Then sound clips and a wide range of independent comparative dyno tests by forum members. With forced induction too.

that sounds really awesome man!

Yes. There will be cats built in as an option.

Not arguing here, but why do you think this has to be the case? HFC's have been failing left and right, and Tony has already explained that putting a HFC further down the line will extend its life due to lower exhaust temperatures. Plus, it would retain the incentive for people to buy his ART pipes.

Awesome, so when might we be expecting these to become available?

Oh, missed that. Sweet, can't wait for dynos and clips. I have been leaning towards Fast Intentions because they have the resonated HFCs and 18" resonators in their CBE to keep the volume down but maintain the growl. Motordyne seems to get better gains form their ART pipes though so I hope their exhaust gets great gains too with options to keep the noise form being too loud. Looking forward to seeing the results.

ART pipe review (part 2) videos.

Ok, I have about 200 miles on these things now. I took a few videos on the way to dinner tonight with my Fiancee running the camera... a little hard for her to keep the vid steady, but I thought some people would like to see this. The first run traction control came right on and slowed the run down, but I thought for the sound I would keep going though it might be mostly wind noise. Notice the tires chirp 2nd and 3rd gear

Felt cool lol.

This run was from 0-60 with the windows up... as you will hear, the pipes themselves are pretty quiet. I don't hear them at all inside the cabin when the windows are up actually. 0-60 with a VERY slight roll... maybe 2-3 mph.

By the way, someone can embed these if they know how... I don't. I know i'm not that great of a driver either, so you can make fun if you must

Is your car stock other than the pipes?

Here you go. Nice vids BTW. Need to get some from the outside of the car though. Check out my exhaust vid for reference

Made a lot of great progress on the exhaust system today. Its visual appeal is 100% up to par with its design.
I'm very happy with the development results.
