Default $95 Test Pipes Installed...




Sorry for the blurry pic , Installed them today , I also have the Borla TD.

Sounds Great.. A bit rasp at high rpm but deep growl on idle and low rpms.

Did you get those from DeluboZ on ebay. I got a set of his Testpipes and am very happy with them. Seem to be very well made and extremely affordable.

Different part, these are resonated.

You will probably have some raspiness as the resonator is smaller and in a different location, but for that price you can't beat it.

How is the sound? I found mine got so quiet with the turbos that the resonators were probably not needed.

Yes I agree. It is very very quiet with turbos. I think it is quieter than stock when not under full boost. I should be getting The DeluboZ Ypipe and either the Topspeed exhaust or make a custom single one. That should solve my really quiet problem.

Veil, those res pipes are from Megan Racing.
if you go on ebay, search: "g35 pipes".

But these are resonated.

I have a set sitting in my garage, I just wanted to see how they were holding up for 350juice.

I had mine installed on Friday. It sounded great. There was not rasp or CEL (I have a 2003). My Borla true dual cat back had been squeeking a little in the rear where the hanger was rubbing against the aluminum mount (where the rubber boot is). With the test pipes, that squeeking turned into a major rumble. I also experienced a "whisp" sound around the H pipe of the exhaust at around 2200rpms. I would rev it up to 3000 and let off and at 2200 I heard what sounded like something rattling around inside the pipe. So after $45 to install (I got a deal), there were still vibration problems so I took it to a muffler shop. I had read on here that some people had brackets welded to the pipes and mounted them to the arm that is bolted into the transmission. That didn't fix the "whisp" problem however. So then we started removing the exhaust from the test pipes back. We found nothing in the pipes. Then we cranked up the car with the exhaust disconnected and still heard the "whisp." It turns out that there's something (metal shavings, ect.) inside the resonator of the test pipe that's rattling around. It cost me another $50 at the muffler shop to determine that. I did get the rumble fixed by cutting the hanger of the pasenger side muffler inlet and welding it back on at an angle. So now I have over $200 in these pipes and I still have that rattling inside the resonators. Does anyone know if whatever's in there will eventually wear down enough to blow out? I plan to complain to Megan Racing but even if they did send a replacement set, I'd have to pay for shipping and labor to put the new ones on.

These pipes are garbage!
My car sounds like a total s hit box now.
At idle and under 2500rpms, it sounds fine but as soon as you get past that my car sounds like a rattle snake inside a tin can.

The gains are so minimal that I don't think it's worth riding around with these things.

If 350onjuice has the megan racing ones, he's having better luck than me.
