I currently have a set of resonated test pipes on an aftermarket y-pipe and catback and have rasp like hell.

Wondering if anyone out there with stock exhaust and JUST resonated test pipes??? Do you still get rasp either way you go?


Thinking about putting back on stock exhaust and leaving the test pipes on but if it won't help the rasp then I will just leave it.

 

yea i had it for about 8 months....i liked it at first becasue it adds a little to the stock sound..but they rattle like hell...testpipes sound horrible....my best advice to you is dont do it wait for a catback exhaust...i wasted alot of money on testpipes......just stay stock .....believe me

 

I have 2.5" un-resonated pipes on mine that sound great.

 

I've had resonated test pipes with both stock exhaust and the aftermarket exhaust. Either way, you will always have that raspy rattly sound. You could try getting high flow cats, but I hear you'll still have a little bit of that rasp.

 

Not many setups dont have rasp. If you take out your stock cats, and replace them with high flow cats or TP's, its probably gonna rasp.

On that note, I have Kinetix TP's and dont mind them at all.

 

I have a set of X02 resinated TP's with Megan Y pipe and love it. Very little rasp , actually the sound of the Kinitic V+ overpowers it all. The sound is great, just slightly louder than stock and the power is great.

 

With resonated test pipes... Ignore the smoke, whole other problem.

You decide.

 

that set up sounds horrible above. All that hissing and what not. I'm running 2.5 non resonating and it sounds fantastic. Pm me if you need a sound clip. I get no hissing, rattling or whatever other test pipes give you.

 

The birds in your neighborhood are loud as hell!

 

Problem that I am having is that I have a full exhaust setup with resonated test pipes and y-pipe and catback but the problem is a whizzing sound inside of the long section of the y-pipe itself. I was wondering iff I can put the stock y-pipe on with the resonated test pipes and leave the catback on as well. It would obviously be smaller pipeing with the y-pipe being in the middle but want to desperately get rid of that nasty sound the y-pipe is making.

So if some of you are using test pipes on stock exhaust I would think mine would sound pretty much like that as my catback almost makes no extra sound above the stock exhaust sound.

 

HAHAHA

Someone else said something about that the other day. They are so loud because they are HUGE!!! You should see the turds they leave on my car sometime!

 

I think yours sounds awesome! The raspy whistle is what I get on your video of the stock exhaust with test pipes.... thats what I WANT to get rid of!

Doesn't even sound like you have rasp at all on the video with the catback on it!

 

Thanks

 

By the way, I took the test pipes off. The 2nd video is with stock cats and Injen exhaust.

 

Here is my video of non resonating test pipes. It has no vibration, no hissing, none of that annoying sounds. these are the verison 2. i love these to death.

 

^^hell yeah...i was wanting to know if i put TP or HFC on greddy SP2 if it would sound ok. since the SP2 is close to stock, that video sold me. now to find out which HFC to go with....never ends does it!
