besides the rasp, can you keep note of how much louder it is with the straight section as compared with the resonator? Let me know if you hear a noticeable volume difference. Thanks man

i will be replacing the TPs with HFCs as soon as the Berk 2.5" come out...

If it works with test pipes, it will only be smoother with HFC's.

He's currently running a JIC single so it will be a good benchmark for a comparison.

what size are the berk hfc now? 3"? If so, why do you want the 2.5? I thought the XYZ was 3"?

is there anything coming out that you can hook up to the shockwave and have two tips coming out the back?
I love the look of a single but only when the canister is back there. I think it would look better with two tips instead of just one.

This sunday, we will be swapping in the XYZ w/ straight section and then with the resonator to see what the resonator can do. im keeping my fingers crossed that it will clean up most of the rasp.
stay tuned...

Its so quiet that it almost sounds like a cruiser BMW.
ZERO RASP, ZERO DRONE AND TOTALY SMOOTH.
You only hear as much as you would hear from a Cadillac or BMW. ...Luxury sound from a 3" diameter free flowing exhaust system on test pipes.
We will compare this against the Nismo exhaust with and without the resonated XYZ and then against another Z with stock cats with Shockwave&VQ, and finally against another Z pumped up on unresonated testpipes with both the VQ&Shockwave.
There will be a wide range of sounds to listen to. Super quiet to Electrifyingly loud.
We will get the pre/post videos put together so you can see and hear everything.
Tony
PS This afternoon we took a video of the VQ to Shockwave swap out. The conversion only took 4 minutes.
We will get this video posted too. Its too easy!

Anyway – I had to go back to work – but was/am interested in the results (not pre-post MD for those looking for those numbers) Osiris info…
FWIW – it sounded very thin and subdued… if the gains are there, this is a REAL sleeper of a mod! It will really surprise people!!!! (Derek’s version only, I have no idea about any others).

If the setup Derek has shows gains - it will crush/surprise unsuspecting competition. Period. * Based on the tame sound.

Mike it's even more quiet now. The thin sound you heard was rasp on the dyno. I found out from Tony today that my mid pipe was missing the resonator that's on his exhaust. I already had the VQ muffler when I was FI 5 months ago.
I added his resonator today and it is virtually silent you can't even hear it idle you hear the engine more than the exhaust.
Tony it's even quieter now maybe too quiet which is good for a sleeper and the cops.
Now the shockwave is a completely different animal!!!

I'll post the dyno sheet tomorrow, but here is the break down on my 5at. My car is a G35 coupe.
I dynoed at church automotive 2yrs ago and my car pulled 275hp and 252 tq. I dyno tuned my car yesterday and pulled 274hp and 241tq now before anyone say anything about losing power lets take a look at the difference.
Feb 16 2006 Temp 61F 275hp 252tq
mods
kinetix plenum
3/8 spacer
stillen cab
z-tube
ground wires
UR crank pulley
kinetix HFC
Borla TD
stillen vb
TS reflash (flashed for mods)
Aug 8 2008 Temp 92F 274hp 241tq
mods
5/16 spacer iso thermal
UR crank pulley
k&n drop in filter with stock airbox and tube (the baffeled one)
xyz pipe with resonator
labree 2.5 resonated test pipes
MD VQ muffler
stillen vb
edge racing TC
osiris tune
I pulled almost the same with a 30 degree difference and less mods. If it was cooler it would of pulled more. The torque is off due to my modified tq converter.
