Just the Topspeed catback and Y-pipe put on and I'm wondering whether or not I should put test pipes on it. Here's a video of the current set-up.

What I'm wondering is I've heard that test pipes can give you rasp and that's definitely not what I want because I don't really have any rasp at all. What will it do to my sound besides of course make it louder. Will it be higher pitched? Would resonated or non-resonated test pipes be better?

heres a sound clip

 

Test pipes, like headers, will change the sound of the exhaust system. No one can predict what the results will be. For performance, go test pipes.

 

yes

 

yes! Screw sound!!! Power > Sound!!! APS 2.5" TP FTW!!!

 

I'm not sacrificing a farty exhaust note for a few extra horsepower...

 

Keep your stock cats if you're **** about rasp... But hey, at least I have more power

Rasp is over-rated.

 

so true..suck it up! that "few extra horsepower" could be the difference on the strip

 

Yes
I have test pipes and my car has no rasp at all.
It sounds BAD @$$ too I think...

Get them you will not be disappointed

 

I have them on my borla along w/ topspeed headers. It sounds nice. I have heard that on the topspeed it gets really loud.

 

oh noes, rasp ! don't let it get on me!

 

I'm sure that is what Michael Schumacher said when he won his 5 consecutive F1 World Championships with Ferrari. "Ferrari, I don't care about going fast, I just want the car to sound good!"

 

I'm sure Ianmtx isn't racing for Ferrari, competing professionally, or trying to maintain a multi-million dollar contract.

 

When you guys say it's RASPY stock, do you mean the listerine gargling sound? To me, raspy is like the sound of frying eggs you hear on a civic with open headers.

 

rasp sounds more like metallic rattling than anything else. many times people mistake it for an actual rattle.

 

I just got some helix test pipes installed today. Get a bit of rasp at around 3500-4500 RPM, but I really like the rasp sound. After I get the plenum spacer installed, i'm gonna go for a free dyno to see what those 2 mods got for me. Not expecting much though, but I do like the more aggressive sound that my car gives out now.

 

I loved them.

 

What test pipes did you order?

 

Nooooooooo

 

hey twin turbo z, **** you. i want your car. ***. lol
