HKS CBE + ART RES TP = Raspy

Alfamale · 03-24-2012, 11:46 AM

Like title suggest, anybody having the same setup and problem? I thought I read somewhere that rasp may likely go away after clocking some distance but Tony said likely not be the case. Also, what's with the 2 versions of ART res tp, the chrome and the dark colored one?

which ART pipes do you have?

if you have the earlier version you need to break em in.

Otherwise, you might have a leak.

I had the chrome one, which one is the earlier ver?

But i thought leak sounds more like fart than rasp?

daisuke149 · 03-24-2012, 12:09 PM

well, sometimes my farts sound like rasp...

Alfamale · 03-24-2012, 12:27 PM

anyone?

daisuke149 · 03-24-2012, 12:45 PM

i always felt the art pipes sounded like other normal res test pipes. maybe your just hearing the hissing we all hear. maybe?

On your ART pipes, do the resonators have flat end caps or rounded?

My old HKS with Berk HFC even had a hint of rasp... it's the nature of the HKS.

Alfamale · 03-25-2012, 07:20 AM

well i didnt take any pics but found some in the ART pipe review thread that Tony posted, this is how mine looks like:

From low rpm till about 3k there are rasp, not hiss, like tin can rasp but when WOT the sounds is orgasmic. Cold start the tin can rasp is pretty loud and obvious. While browsing thru the thread i found another ver (suppose to be the latest ver of art pipe?) which is this:

any difference between these 2?

Appreciate the inputs guys.

I believe that's the ver.1 and ver.2. the first picture is the ver.2 with much less rasp and improved airflow

Thanks Iwan for the input.

I had pm Tony to and ask him about this, see what he says.

The rasp so bad i'm thinking to put back my stock cats now..

It was only audible from about 2500-3500 rpms, so I dealt with it. It wasn't that bad.
