Looking to quiet down some raspy TP's . Right now with a Tanabe Y it is almost unbearable inside, so I am wondering if Tony's Resonated Y would help, and is the difference that significant ?

If anyone has it , and experienced before and after , I would appreciate the comments.

This is what it sounds like with Tanabe Y, AAM TP, Amuse Ti

You're talking about the hooking up the XYZ Y pipe + resonator right?

yes, i wonder how much difference that resonator makes and does it have a any impact on performance

Resonators "help" but, geez I don't know how much they can do for that... HFC's would do it as a last resort if you cant figure out anything else.

i had HFC, the rasp was there as well, just not as bad as tp.

In any case, it'll certainly reduce the rasp and may even eliminate it. But how much depends on the interaction of the various exhaust parts.

It can be anywhere from moderate to complete elimination of rasp.

I got no rasp with Tony's Shockwave + Resonator and HFC's.

Its a solid setup!

Maybe it's just me, but I love the way your car sounds after the first beginning rasp at low rpms.

I would suggest sell current set up completely.
Go with resonated tp , motordyne xyz(resonated) , shockwave exhaust combo.
Then enjoy blissful vq music .

you mean the rasp you get after you let of the throttle? Other wise i love the way your car sounds...is not bad rasp...

^^^
The combination of the vq + resonated tp + motordyne xyz(resonated) + shockwave exhaust system.

Simple enough for you.

Would yield a very awesome sounding exhaust with out rasp.

Everyone has there opinion on what sounds good to them.
To me its sounds perfect imo.
But to each his own.

^ this performs absolutely stunning as well, and the build quality is superb, however this is too loud and i guess the g needs a little tune.. idk about that though.

That's interesting. Some have said the Harakiri with stock cats isn't loud enough but its only a few dB quieter than the Shockwave with stock cats. And they both have similar sounds.

The real kicker is when test pipes are used. That brings either one up about 15 dB.

The Invidia test pipes used in the video above are 2" test pipes. And that alone brings it up another 2-3 dB. 2" diameter test pipes are notably louder than 2.5" test pipes.
