Talking test pipes install

hey whats up everyone. i finally got a set up for my 04 z and man let me tell you, i can feel the difference. the install was pretty easy. i personally think the only time consuming part is putting it all back together. but other than that i feel in love with the sound of the car. i got the resonated fast intentions resonated test pipes.
now all together i have a pop charger, test pipes and the apexi WS2. overall i am super happy

How much did you pay for the Apexi if you don't mind me asking? And, anyway you could get a video or sound clip? Interested to hear this combo. I am looking for an exhaust at the moment, but I don't want something crazy loud. I want idle to just be a tad louder, but I really want WOT to open it up.

Now get headers and really open that thing up. But you will need a tune after that.

I was wondering why when I am at the like 2-3k mark on the rpm's on slowing down off thr. why does it rattle. I have checked the bolts and they are tight any ideas about this problem or what it could be coming from. It is like a rattle sound at about 2-3.5k rpm not sure but it was since I put the Strup Test pipes in.
Thanks

no need to tighten anything...that's part of the 'rasp'. it's there b/c the cats are gone and and the exhaust gases are making that noise.

-you could get resonated TP's - should help to lessen the affects
-others have found ways to get rid of it...but it requires adding different ehxuast copmonents.

the rattle could be the exhoust pipe hitting the back under strut when in low rpm's causing the exhoust to vibrate since the cats are gone and the supports are not there anymore

I did my non fouler and it did not work til after about 400 or so miles after. It may take some time especially if you have a lot of other boltons, so don't freak out if the cell doesn't go away right away
