Damn that sounds good. I want to get one for myself but I want to hear how it sounds with the ART pipes. I'm also a little bit concerned at how loud it might be with ART pipes. Can anyone who has that setup chime in on that?

There's a guy here where I live that has both and it's pretty loud when you get on it, but it's not too loud during everything else.

ART pipes would quiet it down more than stock cats. The exhaust itself is loud however

I have the ART Pipes and TDX2 installed, I posted a clip a while back. I absolutely LOVE the sound of this set up and I get compliments on them all the time. I also did the bumper tuck so it shows off the exhaust nicely also. My only issue is the fact that it's my daily driver and of course when you're climbing the RPMs it can get very loud. But hey didn't buy these exhaust because they were quiet.

Berk Test Pipes installed!!!! it really made this exhaust open up, sounds 20x better everywhere in the rev range. Startup is soo much more aggressive. I was surprised by how tame the exhaust still is under steady driving. When i first started it after the test pipes and drove it around easily i didn't notice too much of a difference, just more bass. I was honestly expecting it to be obnoxious and loud, but to my surprise it was very tame and mild when your just cruising.....it purrs.

But as soon as you put your foot into it, man does it scream. Up until 3,000 it sounds the exact same as i did without the test pipes. Now, at about 3,500 and up its so aggressive. Its literally scary sounding. For once I am actually intimidated to drive my car, I love it. It is very exotic sounding like everyone says, but its the perfect amount of smoothness and aggressiveness. It's an awesome feeling to drive easy then stomp on it and wake the dead. In this video it really does get pretty loud when i rev it, but its hard to tell by just the speakers.

I'm absolutely thrilled with the exhaust and test pipes. The test pipes went on easily according to my installer and everything bolted up in about an hour. I am already used to the smell and hardly notice it now unless i get out of my car in the garage. I feel gains up top and i did not feel any loses anywhere. I can light up the tires in 2nd with ease now, the VDC got a workout today lol.

Sounds great, no rasp! Definitely want to hear a fly-by, since I missed your call the other day while my boss was in my office - "sorry [boss] can you give me a minute, my buddy wants to rev his car for me" hahaha.

Cant wait to get mine installed. I finally got em in the mail today. Hoping to get them on possibly tomorrow.

Marco- would be awesome if you could meet up with us for Zdayz man!

Several videos of my car with the TDX exhaust, ART Pipes, and Stillen Headers... and other mods. The later videos have less production value but better sound.

Yes, I'm running the xyz pipe with the resonator option installed.

Yes no rasp at all, its amazing, I'm sure that is because of the xyz pipe and the resonator. And i think your boss would have understood if you had just explained to him what you were listening too, and maybe let him hear it haha.
