I just bought Kinetix Resonated Test Pipes and am going to get them installed this week in preparation for the Vortech S/C....

Do these pipes "gurgle" at all? I know RTP's are supposed to be quieter than regular TP's. I went with Kinetix because they are not supposed to throw CEL's and the quality is more than likely top notch...

Does anyone have personal exp with these and maybe even a sound clip?

Thanks!

 

They should sound nice. The test pipe brand has nothing to do with whether you will throw a SES light. You have a 2004, as do I, and when I installed the Labree pipes I threw the light. It depends on whether you have an early 2004 or a later one. Either way the fix is pretty easy. I wrote a thread on it, you should read it if you throw the light.

 

Cool, Thanks Blurr!

I will do a search for your fix... are you talking about doing the non fouler fix?

I read on this page that they do not throw a code... I hope they compliment the HKS exhaust and Vortech well

 

I got'em & my exhaust sounds killer along with everything else in my sig. Build quality seems to be okay as i have not had any probs since last Sept when they were installed. I'm pretty happy with them.

 

Where and how much did you guys pay for these. I just cant see myself paying as much for test pipes as I would for HF Cats.

 

Got mine for just a hair over 300... There is more power to be had w/ TP's over HFC's and the only HFC's I would consider getting are crawford which are 500

I wanted a slightly louder tone and since I am going FI w/ Vortech the RTP's seem like the way to go

 

How did your Kinetix Res. TP work out? I'm thinking about getting some too...oh yea, are there diff. models for them? Or just one model since it came out?

 

why do test pipes cost sooo much?!?!!? it's just regular stainless steel tubing if you think about it.. i mean R&D shouldn't be that much compared to FI or suspension.

 

Those test pipes will sound great on your car

 

Some manufactures will stand behind their products. Say that the pipes crack in 6 months, the manufacture may replace at no cost. While other retail stores (eBay for example) you will be lucky to find the seller in 6 months.
