Group Buy - Motordyne Art Pipes


Recommended Posts

Hi guys,

I thought i would let you all know that there is a group buy about to happen right now on these test pipes, it's going through Charles Back who owns B2autodesigns in the states. This group buy is ONLY available if you are a member of our FB group - search "V35 Coupe Drivers" and request to be added.

The price of the ART pipes is $509.00 SHIPPED. This is a great deal considering the price of these alone is $585..

If you're interested, get on the fb group and express your interest, but be quick because the offer ends on September 30.

Forgive me for my ignorance, but do these delete the cats? Is there an option where I'm allowed to keep the cats? trying to keep my car 150% legal while giving it a nicer tone.

Good group buy, Seano! :)

Yes, these replace the cats. But you can have something like this which is essential an ART Pipe & TDX V1 Cat-Back System (discontinued): ART Pipe -> XYZ Pipe -> HFC Module -> you have to figure out yourself... I've been trying to explore this option to find a XYZ Pipe-Back System that will fit.

Yeah mate correct, test pipes are straight pipes that replace the cats. As 81gsky says, you can get around it but i can imagine it'd be a costly experience depending how it all fits in together. The MD shockwave tdx v2 paired with the ART pipes makes an insane sound. I will eventually get this setup, i love it!

Thank you much appreciated, quick question, I have a a injen CIA, motordyne spacer, exotic speed y pipe and a fujitsubo exhaust, do you thing the Art pipes will suite? and will I need a tune?

thanks again,

Jose

Just reminded me to check this up for you, sorry about that i'll look tonight.

Not sure if they will suit, they will delete your CATS and become illegal you might check a CEL if you do you'll need to clear the code. Not sure if ART pipes have anything to do with fuel consumption, but your AFR will be out a bit so a tune could do you good just depends how well it's done.

Where do you live?

I was organising one and posted it up on two threads, but hardly anyone expressed their interest to make up the numbers and make it worthwhile. So I gave up and then I saw this thread pop up, maybe Seano can organise one as I CBF'ed cause its frustrating... LOL!

I keep forgetting to ask Charles if he's doing any more group buys soon, i might hit him up and let him know there's a few guys interested in it. Just a show of hands, how many of you would be keen on the tdx v2 + test pipes or in fact any MD product at all?

i need to write myself a note or else i will forget to ask lol.

Im interested in the whole system. so basically tdx v2 + ART Pipes + 4.5" Tail pieces (want an XYZ pipe with resonator so its not too loud..does it work that way?? Also,have I missed out on anything? ). -- Might also want to get a price on the 5/16 plenum spacer (dont know what one to go for..thermal, copper or normal..whats the diff?)

Hi guys. Charles here. We are doing a group buy on the Motordyne XYZ pipe right now state side. To be completely honest it is hard to do a groub buy on the MD exhaust. I have tried a few times and failed reaching the number. I am here if you have any questions message me :)

    • we can only guess exactly what happened from our keyboards, but to me it looks like they were targeting 27 but the wastegate was too small or poorly controlled and the boost crept up, that is quite common
    • Good points!  Took those for granted - though I *did* actually give an example of winding boost up more than it had been before where I wasn't actually specifically looking for more peak power.  The Toyota Starlet dyno plot that I shared and mentioned showed an overlay from the previous tune it had and the one I'd redone, I left the boost targetting the same as the old tune but then after peak power I ramped boost up by a good 5psi or so over what the old tune had at the same rpm. The reason I felt comfortable with this (though the owner of the car had a "are you sure?" moment when I suggested it) is that the setup wasn't turbo limited, it was largely head sealing limited and the owner was a bit concerned as for the last few seasons he'd had issues with head lifting - sometimes not completing an event without having some headgasket issue, so he didn't want to run any more boost than it was. The reasons I was ok with raising the boost a good 5+psi MORE than that was that I left it where it was in the middle, and only increased it where VE (and therefore cylinder pressure vs psi) were dropping hard and I didn't stop the torque from dropping, just reduced the drop.  Well, there is that and the fact that the previous tuner had it overtimed by near 7degrees at peak torque - but that's another story haha.    I didn't really go into detail about that "turning it up more" thing but now you've mentioned the "not detuning", sometimes the boost *can* be turned up higher than you'd expect if the setup allows for it and you do it smartly.  I've tuned things to run 30psi on BP98 "safely" that a few years ago (or still?) people would cry that it was a stupid idea - but given they were well intercooled, low EMAP turbos and only doing that kind of boost where VE is dropping etc I was pretty confident it wasn't as cowboy as it sounded at face value and we never ended up with issues as a result of it.     
    • they choose the number of psi (27) around 4200? Could it produce more at this engine speed with the same turbo?
    • one thing escapes me, if the turbo spool provides the maximum boost and we can't control anything before that, how can the boost be higher by it alone.   here around 27 psi at 4200 then up to 32 psi at 6500 rpm   how does the tuner do this
    • I'm still not sure what you are trying to acheive, but I wanted to clarify something about Lithium's response to your question...   Only within certain limits. All of the examples Lithium gave were of detuning for a particular reason. Before the engine/turbo/wastegate combination has hit full boost, you can't increase it....the wastegate is shut and the turbo is pushing as hard as it can Once the combination has hit the target (controlled) boost, you generally have full control over whether it makes more or less boost, because it is being limited/reduced from its potential. This is generally done by controlling the wastegate In the top end, with an undersized turbo, it is possible you won't get to your target boost anymore if the turbo is choking up. In this case you cannot increase boost any more without changing the setup. No change in cost compared to any decent build, other than tuning time to get the engine to make less power than it is able to at a certain point
