I've been taking mine on and off for development testing and you can really feel a difference. The ART pipes give the engine a breath of pep.

A little later on the pics and sound clips. We're still experimenting with a set of primary diameters, lengths and merge points. And they all affect the sound ....Sound clips will be posted first, then pics once the prototype parts are cleaned up and looking like production.

Regarding the exhaust variant that uses the existing XYZ pipe, is it correct to assume that there will be 3 main parts: XYZ, new mid pipe, new mufflers. If so, any chance that the new mid pipe will able to bolt up to the stock muffler flange locations (so we can have any combination of Motordyne and OEM exhaust parts)?

Please contact me in about a week. The latest production run was adjusted to allow for 3/8" additional clearance for the X transmission.

No, sorry. The Motordyne exhaust uses V-bands and V-band clamps. Not the 2 bolt flanges.

Adding to my ART pipe review, I thought I would let everyone know I have a little over 300 miles on mine, they are settling in nicely now and the sound is pretty well limited to once you get on the gas pretty good... but it's a nice tone, even on the stock exhaust. Gas mileage on the computer seems to go up faster too, but that might just be wishful thinking. I will keep and update on what my mileage is for this tank.

There should be no reason why they wouldnt fit with the stage 2. Unless the stage 2 comes with headers and test pipes/cats just because their location/routing changed

If the stage 2 doesnt come with any special headers then it means your using stock headers which would mean the art pipes would fit without issues. The resonator on the art pipe runs alone the transmission and so parts of the Stage 2 should also not be in that area.
