Test pipes sound real mean and nice at idle and at low throttle, but open it up, and it sounds like a 4-banger honda. I couldn't stand the noise so i went with Crawford HF cats. Now it sounds as if i had stock cats. The fumes with test pipes will make you pass out/get high if you stand near it for over a minute.

I was also wondering, since i have a true dual setup, maybe i get more rasp with test pipes than with other exhaust systems? Is there ANYONE who is using test pipes and get NO rasp whatsoever? I would love to find out that setup! Test pipes give you noteworthy gain, but I had to switch them out purely on the unbearable rasp...
