MOTORDYNE ART Pipes - Review

SeeyaBud86 · 09-09-2011, 09:59 PM

So will this new exhaust be a true dual? If so, hopefully it will be offered with a 3" diameter/piping for turbo guys. I'm looking into get a TT kit, and I would love to get a motordyne product. The quality/sound is great. Just make sure the mufflers don't hang low like the Ark/GTM/Fast Intentions!

Yes, yes and yes.

Tony,

At least 4 members including myself have reported SES lights (P2A00 and P2A03) with the ART pipes V2. Do you think it has to do something with the revised design?

I did not encounter any SES issues with V1.

Regarding the SES lights ... check for exhaust leaks.

did you get a SES? If so, was it the same codes mentioned above? Is the exhaust leak what caused yours?

No, not at all. If anything, its most likely air leaks that are the cause.

if air can get in, than can't exhaust get out?

Motordyne · 09-12-2011, 06:48 PM

Both. Leaks let air in and exhaust out.

370Z JT · 09-12-2011, 07:21 PM

Each code refer to each side. Leaks on both sides?

I had a shop check the install already and said it was fine. Dead O2 sensors?

Methodical4u · 09-12-2011, 09:10 PM

if one has an exhaust leak... woiuld you hear it more when giving it gas or letting off? I have a sound on mine, but it sounds like what others have described with their ART pipes... I explained it to Tony that it sounds like sand hitting the inside of the tubes of the ART pipes. I am going to go over all of the bolts tomorrow and make sure everything is all tight.

As far as the SES lights go though... I have now over 500 miles on my MD pipes and no SES light.

If they are sure there is no leak it may simply be the sensors are able to detect the difference with the ART pipe stand offs.

The sensors would only be dead if they were improperly handled. (or mishandled)
