what about the performance gains? worth the added exhaust noise? i personally would rather keep things hush-hush, but if it means compromising between a little louder/more power, i'd be willing to sacrifice a little droning here and there.

I have the Fujitsubo Y-pipe and Legalis-R with the Megan Racing resonated TP's and I have NO rasp and NO droning at all. The noise is slightly deeper and exotic IMO.

Well there is definitly a LOUD rasp with the nismo exhaust/y pipe, the power gains are definitly there but IMHO not worth the sound, today i ended up cutting the test pipes in half then welding in new resonators, the car sounds alot better now, very very little rasp and alot quieter on the highway

I am more than pleased with my setup. It is actually quieter than a Z with just a Nismo exhaust installed.

Well I took off the Megan test pipes after a few days, although they sounded nice I'm too chicken to run catless in CA (that smell is a dead give-away) and I went for some hi-flow cats instead.

The Megan pipes are for sale at my cost if anyone is interested, which is $115 shipped to your door. They are in like-new condition with gaskets and hardware.

I've read on this thread that there is *slight* rasp w/stock exhaust...more rasp with aftermarket, I believe Nismo was mentioned. Not sure about others...
