i'll have sound checks on my car with the artisan performance exhaust tomorrow to post on wednesday. stay tuned

[Altima_Coupe]

sweet. looking forward to hearing it.

[Altima_Coupe]

Turbo-kits called me back and said they would match the price of $600 shipped. Looks like all the companies are selling it for the same price.

I must admit, it does look and sound quite awesome.

I dont know, but isnt yours a 3inch pipe where mine will be 2.5? I think when i was on the phone with kenny, he said they were "taking care of you" so will yours sound different than mine? He mentioned something about this and I thought he was talkin bout u?!? But i am not sure I was in the middle of working a 14.5 hr day when he called me so my memory is a little foggy from yesterday. lol.

alright you guys. what i and some of you also have been waiting for. i picked up the coupe today and it is so much fun to drive. the blow off sounds sick and the exhaust sound is so crisp and clean with a aggressive roar to it. I'm uploading 4 videos as we speak and will post everything in a new thread in just a bit when the upload is finished.

seriously yall. this car goes from 80 to 140 so quick it's scary. especially when your near redline the acceleration is unbelievable. the install is super clean and the pipes shine like mirrors. if anyone in the dallas area is interested in the turbo and would like to check it out just lemme know and i'd be happy to show it off because one ride in this baby and you'll be reaching for your check book!vids soon, Later

[Altima_Coupe]

how different will the exhaust sound with a turbo vs a non turbo? Is the 3 inch pipe for a turbo and the 2.5 inch is for non?

[08altima35]

sorry for not getting more info. from kenny about the exhausts, but we pretty much only talked about the turbo kit when i was out in houston today. i had to pick my jaw up off the floor a couple times because seeing my car with that nice of a turbo on it just floored me. if you guys want i can link kenny to this thread and have him post details of the exhausts or you can call or email [email protected] and you questions will be answered as the exhaust is on sale right now and ready to ship.

Did you get a chance to take any pictures, or do you think you can ask Kenny to post a couple different angles of the exhaust tmr because I was going to order the Greddy monday but the Artisan site say that pictures would be up later that day on June 3rd but there not up yet. So I would appreciate that because I want one of the two.

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Haha man I've been in the same boat as you this whole time, and I want to hurry up and decide on what exhaust so I can enjoy it this summer.

[FGFCacoupe]

I know man, we both seem to be getting there so thats good. I could have gotten any of these exhaust, we both just want to get the best one. Im thinking I will either get the Artisan once I see the pics, or get the Stillen catback, but get the resonator cut out. What about you.

[AltiCoupeDriver]

I think I'm gonna go for either the Artisan or the GReddy once I hear these clips. I was also considering the Stillen w/o the resonator, but I wouldn't want to be the guinea pig.

[FGFCacoupe]

I was about to buy the Greddy on monday actually, but I want to wait for the Artisan, and in the process of waiting decided that I wanted either the Artisan or the Stillen. Ive seen and heard the Artisan, Stillen, and Greddy in person, and its hard not to want the Stillen because it just looks so good on our cars.I know wi

[FGFCacoupe]

I know with the resonator cut out the Stillen will get a lot louder which I can deal with, I just cant have rice. So im waiting on Artisan

[JDizzle]

Dammit Warner, get you vids up already

[Altima_Coupe]

[08altima35]

i'm trying, but damn youtube is super slow.

[mcheddadi]

man, I want that turbo kit soo bad

go do some 0-60 times and quarter miles!!!

[kennytuned]

Guys we are not a vendor on here so I do not want to step on any toes. You can purchase this system from Ravspec or Upscale auto who are both vendors.

The production system is shipping now. Here is a under car shot for you. It comes with artisan tips and a magnaflow muffler.

Thanks

[LongBeachCoupe]

am i missing something? wheres the muffler?

[08altima35]

the muffler is just barely out of this pic. i think i posted pics of it in another thread, but you can check it out in the turbochargers.com gallery

[JDizzle]

I'll have some pictures of the full exhaust tomorrow.

[JDizzle]

Pictures as promised!

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Thanks. So that little thing is the Magnaflow muffler? Does it come with all the hangers and necessary bolts/screws? Also, is this mandrel bent piping? (I don't even know if this applies to this setup)Are you guys going to make a y-pipe or new mid-pipe, or is it not possible on our cars, specifically 3.5s.

lol Sorry for all the Qs.

[JDizzle]

The muffler is at the very top left of the picture, it does include all the neccessary hardware. The exhaust has some mandrel bends and lots of tig welds. There will not be a Y pipe made.

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Thanks for the quick response.

So are tig welds better? Also, can a y pipe or larger diameter mid pipe be beneficial and could it be custom made?

[08altima35]

[QUOTE=AltiCoupeDriver]Thanks for the quick response.

So are tig welds better? QUOTE]

When it comes to welding stainless or aluminum tig welding is the only way to go whether it's done by human hand or robot. the welds on my kit look about like a roll of nickles tipped over evenly spaced for a super clean look.

[AltiCoupeDriver]

Azure did you get your exhaust on yet?

[08altima35]

i emailed azure to see what he thought of the exhaust, but he hasn't replied yet. i'm sure if he installed he'd have posted by now.
