I would definitely prefer Berk over AAM Bro. I am running BERK's HFC's and the quality of the products they put out is great. Either way, you won't go wrong with either test pipe. Good luck in your build.

Not an owner of test pipes by any brand, but if the quality of the HFC´s is a good benchmark, I would go Berk... their products are really good!

As the other guy said, both are great brands and you cannot go wrong with any of them.

I'd buy the cheaper one. Also consider fast intentions.

I have

and I can't really live with this setup. I love the gain from test-pipes tho.

Should I put some resonator on my mid-pipe ?
Motordyne XYZ offers resonated Y-pipe but it's kinda expensive. Is it worth it?

When I had only muffler and straight mid-pipe it was really deep and no rasp at all.

After I put test pipes it turned to be different world.

I still want to know if you have resonator on mid-pipe?

fast intentions resonated test pipes > all

no rasp or depending on your exhaust setup is very minimal rasp
