With NA I would suggest ones with resonators like Kenitix but I have them and since the TT install it has gotten really quiet so non resonated ones would probably be OK and those there are various and cheaper.

Get the Helix...they tend to fit better than some of the other brands. But they all do the same thing...same performance. Resonators are not needed at all with the TT. Your will have no rasp.

Has anyone ever determined what cause the raspy sound with test pipes? Why does a TT setup not have the raspy sound? I suppose a single turbo would also not have the rasp?

The turbo acts as a muffler, the raspiness I believe is caused by no resonator, so the exhaust is a strait shot out of the car (good for flow, bad for resonance).

The TT chops up the sound ways...eliminating the rasp. Believe it or not...my car is actually less noisy with the test pipes vs. high flow cats.

Single turbo should also have no rasp.
