well this afternoon i installed my kinetix resonated test pipes. fitment was good and quality was pretty good too. there seemed to be plenty of clerance from the heat shields so i don't forsee any rattling in the future. my setup is topspeed headers, injen straight tip and the test pipes. i went from the kinetix hi flow cats to these and performance wise they seem to give it a little bit more pep. they sound a little bit deeper and i really didn't notice any rasp. overall i'm happy with the change, sounds good and performs good too....now time to save up for some more mods.

I would also like to give props to kinetix for great customer service. I had the old version of the hi flow cats with the brace and they cracked where the welds were causing a leak. when i notified them they took care of me and shipped out some resonated test pipes on my request instead of the cats under warrenty.

 

I've had em for about 8 months now....love em.

 

I've got the TopSpeed headers installed with the Kinetix HF cats and the rasp is very pronounced at 3-4k rpm.

Did you have the rasp before and was this solved going to the Test Pipes?

 

I didn't have any rasp before but it did get alot louder starting from that rpm and up. I think the headers made a bigger difference in sound that switching between hf cats and tp's. Tp's sound almost identical, just a tad deeper. Do you have an exhaust with that combo too?

side note: i had to type this twice cause the damn cable converter went out before it could be posted...i hate that thing and i'm about to bust it up office space style

 

I do not. This is with the stock catback. Looks like I might have to put the factory heavyweights back on b/c it sounds gross.

I can feel the rice-eyes staring at me!

 

ah, we have the kinetix tp sitting in the garage waiting to be installed. theres a fuji exhaust and dc header on it so I cant wait to hear what it sounds like *drool*.
