I just did the exhaust swap with rasr16. I got his nismo and left my titek testpipes on it. I drove out of the lot and I thought I was going to go deaf. The sound is awesome but man it was TOO loud for me. Now this is the awesome part. I was driving about 1 mile down valley bl and testing out the sound when I get pulled over. Sheriff says my **** is too loud and lets me go. Then I continue driving and Im stopped on the light at stimson/gale. I go on green and guess what? ANOTHER sheriff pulls me over for the same damn thing. F*ck... Im going to take this testpipe off tomorow. I dont see how you guys with the nismo + testpipe setup manage to not get pulled over

 

wow. thats some luck. my exhaust is super loud and all i get are looks. hahah

but im pushing my luck. thats why im selling my exhaust now.

the thing is i dont understand how u're getting pulled over. my friend has nismo with test pipes and it wasnt loud unless u got on it. do u drive your car that hard?

 

man I dunno. I was driving pretty normal. Around 3k-4k it gets soooo freaking loud! Maybe Im not used to it cause its just too much noise for me. The sound is very high pitched so the sound travels for miles it seems . The testpipes makes all kinds of strange noises on the nismo but when they were on the greddy evo2 the testpipes made almost no noise...strange stuff. ....lets just say the cops were cool ;D

 

u suppose to go easy on the gas when there's patrol cars around.....ur lucky u can get away with it

 

I have the same setup and I'll say that it is so fckin loud but I think it sounds good. I normally shift at about 2.5k to keep the noise down if any cops are around. Normal cruising, its pretty quiet.

 

damn I hope when I take them off it isnt "too" quiet. I wanted the VQ sound back but this is just TOO much VQ if you ask me haha

 

i'll take ure test pipes. give me a price =D it must be nice to "know" people

 

I have a Nismo with Kinetix HFC's and the sound is AMAZING. I only get a little rasp when its cold, like when I first start it up, but 2 minutes of driving, and its fine. But it doesnt get loud until you get on it a little, and it keeps alot of the "VQ" sound. I'd just get some HFC's if I was you, and get rid of the TP's.

 

Do you have the entire Nismo exhaust? Y-pipe included?

 

175 for Titek Test pipes with the Titek CEL fix sensor adaptor ( 30 dollar value). TP is 1 week old with like 70 miles on it. IM TAKING A HUGE HIT! BUY FROM ME!

 

Is there a difference between test pipe brands? I couldnt imagine how they could be any different as the length is so short to add anything drastic.

No sound clip of the loudness?

 

They replace the cats with a pipe... less restriction + noise = more hp

 

I know that I mean tho the difference between megan, titek, helix, etc. Is there really a difference between what brand you buy?

 

yea quality. Crappy ones will crack/blow apart

 

I take it these are non resonated if they are that loud!

That should give you an idea of how it sounds. The vid doesn't do its justice on how loud it is as my friend told me

edit-I laughed when he put the headmuffs on because last time I dyno'd I didn't have the Nismo installed.

 

DAAAAAMN thats JUST testpipes and nothing else added? are those resonated or non resonated? Thats pretty damn loud! Sounds like a turbo spooling up when it whistles. Makes me want to get a set

 

All the mods in the sig. I'm not sure if the OP has headers or not but if he doesn't, it may be slightly quieter... just maybe

Ah, that whistle is just the dyno you hear

 

titek is non resonated? ahh too loud

 

I'm with Justin on this one. Just get some HFCs. I have the Stillen true dual, headers and Kinetix HFCs and it sounds slightly loud under normal driving but sounds awesome when you apply the heavy foot to it. The engine roars like a good VQ should.
