The Artisan Carbon/ti Exhaust Review

WELL THIS MORNING WE INSTALLED THE ARTISAN CARBON/TI EXHAUST AND DROVE THE CAR ALL FREAKIN DAY AND I AM IN LOVE. THAT WAS THE EASIEST EXHAUST INSTALL I HAVE EVER DONE IN MY LIFE! PERFECT FIT, NO FITMENT PROBLEMS, JUST BOLTS RIGHT UP, AND ITS FREAKIN LIGHT.
POWER GAINS (OF COURSE) ARE VERY NOTICEABLE BUT HAVE NOT BEEN ABLE TO DYNO IT, OF COURSE, SINCE ITS ONLY BEEN ON THE CAR FOR HALF A DAY. AND THE EHAUST TONE IS IMO INCREDIBLE, VERY DEEP BUT EVERYONE WILL KNOW YOUR THERE SITTING IN YOUR X
IT DOES DRONE A BIT IN THE CABIN BUT NOT BAD, MY CHECK ENGINE LIGHT NEVER CAME ON , MAYBE I GOT LUCKY WITH THAT. OH AND WHEN I WAS TAKING OFF THE O2 SENSOR OFF THE CAT I REMEMBERED A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING ITS PROBABLY GOING TO BE SEIZED UP IN THERE, BUT IT CAME RIGHT OUT WITHOUT STRIPPING ANY THREADS. MAYBE MY EVO JUST LOVES ME, HAHA. BUT ARTISAN DID ONE AWSOME JOB ON THEIR EXHAUST SYSTEM AND WOULDNT HAVE GONE ANY OTHER WAY
ARTISAN FTW

HERE ARE SOME PIX AND A REALLY SHORT CHEEZY VIDEO WE TOOK SO YOU CAN KINDA GET AN IDEA FOR YOURSELF

AND JUST FOR REFERENCE, I HAVE INJEN INTAKE AND UICP, THE HKS SSQV BOV AND PIPING AND THE EXHAUST.
NEXT IS FMIC AND LICP

i love this exhaust, you might need the MIL spec 100 cell metallic cat to make it quieter and legal, and fit some classes when they need to cat , to run your car

Looks great!

Wow, nice. But it has to be loud cruising at 65 mph.

What degree is the angle. AMS makes the same looking exhaust.

What does this system replace? I thought I saw somewhere that buying their exhaust is like a typical cat-back + test pipe...is this right?

A dual setup with that style muffler would look great.
