NYC test pipe help
What's up guys I have a MB 2010 z I just put test pipes on about a months ago. Everything has been smooth, a little rasp as expected but sounds great. I Didn't even catch a SES light. I was coming home from the beach last weekend, when I heard an extremely loud noise coming from the exhaust (it sounds like a honda just louder) along with a popping sound, it sounds unbareable and now the SES light is on. I definetly know its the test pipes but I don't know if it's something that's off or loose an O2 sensor idk. On top of that they guy that usually works on my car is on vacation so now I'm stuck without my z. Is there anyone in NYC area (westchester, Bronx, queens, Brooklyn etc) that can take a look at my car. If there's anyone that works on their cars themselves or knows of a shop that does exeptional work please let me know. Any way you guys can help is appreciated.

I've personally never been there, but a lot of NJ guys have recommended RAD in NY for Z work. Maybe they can help.

Are they CNT test pipes perhaps?

Not necessarily HFCs, just a good brand. Top Speed / CNT / Etc are crap. Spend a few bucks more and get a brand that won't fall apart.

Def call RAD
They installed my Fast Intentions test pipes, flawless install. Your test pipes might have cracked at a flange or something, if you're hearing noise like that.

Same here, no issues with my Top Speed TP's, but I wish I would've researched the Axle Back Exhaust first, sounds better without the rasp. I'm gonna order some and maybe have Z1 put my stock cats back on as well.

yeah it does, but you'll have some rasp with any tp's that you put on. i've gotten used to mine with my stillen cbe setup.
