Setting up an N/A Exhaust System still keeping Torque
Whats up guys, I have done a lot of Searching over diameters and TD or Single exhaust and all of that. My question here today is that I have up to 1.2K to spend on an exhaust and the last thing that I want to do is overdue my NA system. I was thinking since I do not want to loose much torque, maybe getting a Borla Catback exhaust with some Helix SS Test Pipes. Will this help me to avoid some of the torque and dyno losses that some others are experiencing. I know that this is not a big deal to some, but for me it is. I just cant see myself wanting a single exit exhaust when there in inserts for two, no offense just looks tacky to me.
I just put this one on last week and it's sweet. The group buy is over, but he is still selling them for $950. I'll let you peruse the videos and charts.

Yea I was thinking that the Borla SS Catback or the NISMO would be more benefitial for my situation with the HFC connected like the Kenitix, but around this community I dont see much of that setup. I also found a great deal on an APS TD 2.5" exhaust but dont plan on putting in a turbo until at least a year.

I have the borla with invidia TP's and the rasp is only noticeable from 3400-3600rpms, but its still annoying and you get other little sounds periodically under no load that would be reduced or eliminated with the use of the x-pipe

The test pipes will loose a lot more low, low end TQ than any aftermarket exhaust. From 2-3 K RPM. If you don't want to lose that, dont get test pipes.
Otherwise, you will gain a whole lot of power above 3K rpm with test pipes.
I've done a lot of testing on exhaust systems and unless you put on a dual 3" system, you are unlikely to lose much if any TQ and gain a lot of power everywhere else on the curve.
