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!

Hi Jose,

Yes it did go through, Charles Back is running another group buy i beleive. Will check it up for you tonight and get back to you, i have a feeling it's on any MD product but let me check it out when i'm home to confirm.

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 :)

    • After using a protractor for an actually accurate assessment of what is required,  and by NOT using my uncalibrated eyeball I worked out I need a 25° silicone bend from the TB ro the MAF, but, my choice was either a 30° or a 23° (23° is a weird spec), so I grabbed the 23° one from Raceworks I also grabbed 1mtr of 3" straight from Just Jap, I needed 350mm, but they only had 300mm, or 1mtr lengths....meh Also ordered a 1/2" hose bulkhead fitting from fleabay, this has a smoothish mushroom looking head (they are designed for below the water line of boats) that will fit inside the bend, the hose bit and threaded bit looks to long, but nothing that a hacksaw cannot fix if required, the hose will then just get jamed on the threaded bit up to the retaining nut Fingers crossed and the unsightly amount of hose clamps will be reduced down to 4 once all the parts arrive 
    • Oil change does not trigger code 21. Code 21 is for coilpacks primary side connection. You can try to clear the code with a battery disconnect, hold down the brake pedal to drain capacitors through the brake lights with the ignition on for 10-15 seconds before you reconnect the battery. I have seen R35 coil conversion permanently cause this code with no ill effects so it might be the resistance it wants to see isn't quite right on one or more coilpacks. Could be inside the ECU, could be the harness, could be a coil. You can test it all if you want or just ignore until the car actually starts misfiring.
    • I forgot you have a Nistune ECU. Use Nistune to do all the tests I mentioned instead of faffing with 30+ year old electrical connectors. You can read MAF volts off that too, there are reference values in the service manual to tell you roughly what it should be in different conditions.
    • No. I think it might be the AFM. Hence the use of the terms "swaptronics", which implies the use of swapping out electronics for the purpose of diagnosis. It's about the only way to prove that a small/niggling/whatever problem with an AFM or a CAS or similar is actually caused by that AFM/CAS/whatever. A known good item swapped in that still gives the same problem is likely to be caused somewhere else. They're all the same. Spraying AFMs with cleaner is an each way bet between cleaning it and f**king it.
    • Oh wow! This might actually work amazingly. Do you know the ratio of the diff? I was told the only thing you need to make sure of is if the front & rear diff ratios are the same. Ours is a 4.083 Thanks!
