no clue about art pipes, fi rhfcs are nicely loud. deep tone, good sound, but in terms of loudness they're very manageable, not too loud. they went on the car after breaking in ark's catback and they definitely cleaned up the sound, made it more crisp and defined. given that they're not as free flowing as art's and they're resonated, i'd imagine art's are louder and possibly not as deep.

thanks for the input, i want that deep growl and possbily a little loud. Now in term of the gain? is it the same? because art got 15whp and not sure about the torque

Art more gain, but with more power and flow....more rasp and sound from the exhaust. FI RHFC less gain but no rasp and will cost you more used or new. new I think its $670ish used $500 +. Good luck and ask local G members who have either of the setups. and go with either one that fits your taste. I'm in VA and pulled over few times for exhaust noise so I went back to OEM IPL exhaust now I have amuse and putting on FI RHFC... hope I do not get pulled over this time.... FYI VA anything not OEM is illegal....smh

RHFCs don't have the unwanted "hiss" that is famously known from the ART pipes throughout the entire powerban. I've actually had customers swap out ART pipes FOR resonated HFCs just for this fact.
You also can't really compare a Test Pipe of one brand, to a Resonated HFC of another. They're completely 2 different products. Now if you want to compare ART pipes(motordyne) to Resonated TPs, then you're talking. Power gains are around the same, but again, ART pipes have a high pitched hissing sound.
I actually was going to say the exact opposite. The only reason I can see G35 or 350 owners may prefer ART pipes is the price.

I'm going to have to disagree with the guys above. I installed my ART test pipes to go along with my axle back and i notice hardly any hiss if any at all.
It made the car a little louder but with that throaty vq sound. After i put on the axle back sounded even better. Definitely felt a bump in power.
For the performance and price i do not think the ART pipes can be beat.
I've been meaning to post some vids so i'll get on that this weekend.

I didn't know VA was that strict... Wow! Did you ever get around to installing the Amuse with the ART or FI pipes? I've been looking into HFC's to mount up with the Amuse. Going to avoid all rasp and drone or the pipes are coming off.

The way that I read it, he has specifically not compared RHFC's with Art pipes! He actually says that you CANNOT compare them because they are different products. Try reading a statement correctly before attacking someone!
