For someone who asked about fitment on X: They are not deigned to fit on the X when purchased and form what iv seen only one person so far has had the pipes 'modified' by his exhaust shop to fit the X.
These pipes wont throw a CEL 99% of the time as can be seen over at 370Z where only a couple had the CEL while dozens didnt, the J bung is really pulled away from the exhaust path and is facing the opposite direction so least amount of exhaust gas gets in there.
They will smell of course like any other test pipes and if your state has visual inspections(mirror underneath car) and sniffer then you will probably fail but if your state has just the OBDII testing then you should be alright!

I have these as well ... waaaaaay better than the Berks I replaced. They are MUCH quieter than the HFC's. Nice deep tone. Performance was definitely noticeable over the Berks. If you go straight to these pipes from stock cats you'll notice a huge diff.
I've had both the original polished pipes and now the new titanium coating. The newer version even has the steel mesh inside the o2 bung to further prevent CEL lights - -though they weren't a problem to begin with.
Highly recommend.

Spoke to a guy who has a 550WHP G35 and runs a performance shop for a living, and all he could do is give me two thumbs way up. These Art Pipes are the real deal. They run quieter than HFC's and put out more power. Motordyne knows what it's doing. Anyone getting these would not regret it.

Got a response from Motordyne and they are wanting to know how many people would be interested in a group buy. They will fit both the coupes and sedans according to them.
If anyone could give me a heads up if they are interested in a group buy I'll relay the numbers to them and see what they say.
1 - DPE G
2 - ?
