Hmm.....I'm not too concerned with it being loud, I just don't want it to sound like I have test pipes. The Test Pipes make the TurboXS sound terrible. I want the HP without making it sound like donkey.

Actually, it seems I only got rasp when I went back to the Nismo...although the gaskets it came with were a bit smaller and might be throwing off the resonance. But I didn't seem to have any rasp with the TurboXS and Berk.

Lol at the pothole... that was a pretty hard hit.

I personally would not recommend the combo. Not sure how much quieter the TurboXS is by itself, but I wouldn't even dare pull into my neighborhood after 10pm with this thing. Hopefully the Nismo I put on this weekend will be considerably quieter.

Oh, and I'll try to get some vids this weekend.
How is the drone/noise on the highway? I just bought this & I am going to be running this with headers, cams, and testpipes and I'm sure it is going to be loud as sh*t when going WOT. I'm hoping it will be livable during the daily commute.

Yeah, I moved here 2 yrs ago .


How is the noise when crusing on the highway? Does it drone excessively? Thanks.

I honestly have no idea. Still need to get everything bolted on.

From what I have heard, there is very little drone if any at all. SOunds great without HFC.

For me, there was no drone on the highway at all. There's actually more drone at cruising speeds (75 mph) with my Nismo - but it's known for that.

However, anytime I got on it a bit, there was drone. Around 2k rpm there was a TON of drone. I had a very small exhaust leak, and also HFC's - so who knows.

Was a relief to go back to the Nismo though

yeah, it really sounds like no HFCs are the only way to go.
