Arran Posted March 3, 2013 Author Share Posted March 3, 2013 Time for another update to the journal, Mark at Abbey had a couple sets of Motordyne ART pipes doing nothing, so went down to see Mark and get a set of these badboys, i'd researched them to death during the week to see what all the fuss is about especially at £600! and couldnt find anything other than praise for them so i just had to get them Needless to say as soon as i picked them up, a mate and I went to work to get them fitted. Once on we went for a quick test drive and yep my very own set of ART pipes live up to the hype, definately pulls harder and sounds a bit more exotic as opposed that raw edge it had with the silenced decats and a fair bit quieter to, perfect really happy with these as a complete impulse buy Just for comparison until i get an outside one of the ART pipes next week Silenced decats, stock y pipe and Cobra Y pipe back Motordyne ART pipes, stock y pipe and Cobra y pipe back Sounds absolutely glorious Also managed to get a nice sunday afternoon clean in today as she was a bit grubby, washed using 2bm/wool mitt with Carlack 68 shampoo, dried using Megs speed detailer and wooly mammoth towel and then sealed using Zaino Z8, Exhaust tips and headlights polished with Megs metyl polish. B E A Utiful Will be purchasing an Invidia Gemini in the not to distant future to finally complete the quest for the perfect exhaust setup, and the last few things on the list for the ring trip will be purchased in the next couple months 4x Michelin Pilot Super Sports Front and rear EBC yellowstuff pads Silkolene Pro S 5w30 NGK or HKS spark plugs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arran Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 Lol it's a special ingredient i use after giving it a few hard worked passes of megs metyl polish Other than that just alot of elbow grease every time I was the car, they come up like brand new every time. Cobra won't be on for to much longer anyways as I'm changing it for something else, going to miss it though as it looks great with those tips and sounds it to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the Cobra sounds great to be fair, especially for the (relative) cost. for great advice and service Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sarah, after speaking to Arran last week he's swapping as he wants the titanium tips which the Invidia offers, Arran bought the Cobra from us and as far as I know, he's been extremely happy with the sound and system...

Arran Posted March 24, 2013 Author Share Posted March 24, 2013 Lol I do change parts on my cars often, especially exhausts. Just try different ones to see what each setup feels/looks and sounds like Sarah the cobra is a great bit of kit, sounds absolutely wonderful as you can see from the videos fits great, and looks great with the TP38 tips nice and polished up. For the price or certainly keeps up with the bigger brands. Even with the Motordyne ART pipes it's perfectly acceptable for everyday use I find, I'm just swapping to the invidia because its a true dual setup and those titanium tips with look great on my azure Just waiting for my mate to take his stock exhaust off so I can borrow that for a bit while I sell the cobra and order the invidia, so if anyone's interested in it when it's off let me know. It's only done about 1000 miles Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leaving said finish Not the most exciting update ever but after all this shite weather it was due a spring clean Comments welcome as usual Arran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
