seems like good quality from pictures and the price is a bit better then labree.

Only thing is strange is that they put resonator at the top and not the bottom of the pipe?

Any opinions on this?

 

They look similar to kinetix

 

Those aren't the Labree ones are they?

 

No they are not. I found them by doing google search. Seems like a good quality but who knows for sure.

 

so expensive...

 

Labree are well over 400 mark. But they suppose to be the top quality stuff. (from what i been reading on this board)

 

mine costed 109 shipped (new)
so thats 4x as much
i'd rather get mine and use the other 300 on something else...

 

yes i had the pro1 test pipes as well. mine were 60 but i couldnt take the rasp... so now i'm on my 2nd set of resonated and soon will be going to the 3rd soon.

 

imo...
not much rasp if u dont change stock muffler/resonator
mine sounds louder than stock but still resembles stock sound (kind of)
+ headers will make it slightly louder too
so...
its cool
im keeping stock exhaust for a bit

 

A test pipe is a metal tube with nothing inside. Some are $200 while others are $400. I don't have an engineering degree in metallurgy, but I can't see $400 for two pieces of pipe.

 

for the most part you paying for quality and craftsmanship. wHY DO YOU THINK some things cost more then others. SImply cause they are quality products.

I do agree with you to an extent that 400 is a bit too much. But then again, nothing else comes close as far as quality and lasting a long time. My ebay TP failed after being on the car for 2 weeks. so i rather not deal with this crap again and just go with better stuff.

 

Once you put a hi flow y-pipe on you'll get rasp. I didn't have any rasp with my Labree's until I put on the y-pipe. I believe ALL test pipes cause at least a little bit of rasp, NA anyways. I'm changing my exhaust from the stock mid pipe and muffler to the Tanabe SHM, we'll see if the rasp is still there after that.
