PPE Longtube Headers
Currently have a Borla TD installed. I bought a TDX v2 with the plan of using the XYZ HFC module...then found out that the v2 eliminates the HFC section. I'm going to install the PPE's and see how it sounds with the Borla. From there, I'm either going to weld some HFC's into the Borla somewhere, or buy replacement TDX v2 midpipes with HFCs ($440...).
Have a feeling I'll probably go the Borla route, as the TDX v2 is essentially a straight-through and would be loud as hell. Had a JIC semi-Ti single, and it was wayyyyy too loud.

My car will be
PPE headers
XYZ pipe with resonater module (will probably grab a straight section too , need a cat section also for Global Time Attack)
Motordyne single Shockwave (old version with megaphone)
It was really loud before with the DC headers and Berk HFC, i have a feeling it will be a bit louder.
Also, i'm not going to do lame *** sound clip stuff. They always sounds so much different in person.

HR PPE Headers
Injen long tube intakes
AAM Y-pipe
AAM 3" inch single which has a small resonator on it.
I'll do some sounds clips, just cause!
So far just recieved the O2 extensions

Can't wait to hear that clip!
Can't wait to see more dynos!!! Empirical data for the win!

The optional HFC's for the V1 are attached to the XYZ pipe.
The optional HFC's for the V2 are built into the mid-pipes.
PM Tony (Hydrazine) for pricing on the mid-pipes or give him a call.

So I payed extra on UPS.com to have them drop off the headers at her place today, I knew she would be home. Got the final notice on my door , freaking idiots. Tomorrow, not sure if she will be home all day, lucky me.
They will hold them at a UPS facility near you for a few extra days for you to pick up. In fact, I think you can select which UPS they send it to. I've done it many times, so not all hope is lost!

The V2 HFC mid section should be around $200, yes it goes between the mid resonator and the rear axle backs.
Do not underestimate the affect that the Helmholtz resonators have on the sound level, especially when you have the HFC's inline. My full system with ART pipes and TDX2 is a DD and works fine. However, the ART pipes have Helmholtz as well.

Because I'm matching the 2.5" test pipes on my car right now with a Y pipe and it's has incredible back pressure and no top end compared to a divorced dual 3" which I need to redo and end at the rear diff.

I'll make a before and after video tonight. I have vids with the Gemini before and after with the LTH and my car revving next to a 350z with TPS and my old Gemini exhaust vs my new exhaust.
The car will be louder how much really depends on your exhaust. If you exhaust is already loud with TPs then it will be louder with LTs.
The LTs with the invidia gemini was not that loud, but with my new exhaust it's very loud, but I like it the exhaust note turns heads.
Jake make before/after vids since you have a shockwave.

I went from DC headers and test pipes to the LTH's and all I noticed was a change in pitch and tone...And power !
BTW I run a single exit titan, for now till I finish mocking up the new RDZ single exit and or Dual
