I'll leave this open to anyone interested in doing such a comparison. It would make a valuable comparative data point for the community.

agree there... but headers will probably be the last mod I do... it's going to be to install the ART pipes, and then buy and install the XYZ pipe and then get a CBE. Then intakes... Perhaps Tony you all may have your intake finished or close to it?

By the way Tony, I was wondering... if I don't want a loud exhaust... and since the ART pipes obviously are not a hfc... would I be better with the XYZ with HFC or resonated? I guess resonated since I could always put my OE cats back on right?

Intake comes after the exhaust. As far as HFC Vs resonator on the XYZ pipe... I would suggest the HFC. HFC because it will at least clean up the smell. For some people this is important.

The smell of test pipes or ART pipes doesn't bother me at all but it is an issue for some. It depends a lot on your personal preference and smog regulations.

Any idea how far you guys are from releasing the intakes? I was going to buy intakes sometime next year, probably around February for my birthday. Was going to go with the Stillen G3's, but if your's are being released sometime after that I will probably wait to see the results before making my purchase.
