Test pipes< which brand???
 

Hi guys, i have a 2016 370z. I had originally bought the HKS HI PO CBE and wasnt satisfied with the sound it made so i chopped the mufflers. The car now sounds amazing. But its time i want just a little more. My questions are 1) will non resonated test pipes increase backfire and crackling noise? (i like that) 2) will non resonated test pipes cause an ungodly amount of drone? (to the point where driving 15 min anywhere gives you a headache) 3) will non resonated test pipes increase raspiness? 4) should i look into custom test pipes or a brand, if brand which one?

in my opinion all test pipes are pretty much the same... about a 18" long piece of tube, how much difference can one be from the next? I have test pipes on my 370 used in conjunction with a ARK catback with x-pipe. Sounds just fine, and imo not loud at all. I have very very little drone, and certainly not raspy by any means. These 3.7's sound unique and never heard anything like them before

loooooooooouuuuud

Loud??? No its not... Have you ever owned a 408Ci LS1 with solid roller cam, no cats, and 3 1/2 exhaust dumped before rear axle.... THATS LOUD and SOUNDS AMAZING. These cars with no cats, and after market CBE sound "different" IMO certainly not loud.... All in my opinion of course... I certainly miss my LS1 days.

I bought FI non-resonated test pipes for my 370Z, even on my old 350Z, and have zero complaints. Sound and quality are top-notch. Rasp? Sure, but that's to be expected with test pipes. Still, the rasp is very minimal IMO.

any perticular reason you linked me that?

and? Im glad you can link to other peoples' posts.... your reply above, just like mine.... are subjective to each owner/operator....

whats a muffler chop?

huh?

i bet its loud

YouTube?

FWIW

I recently added test pipes, and cheap ones at that. Rasp, yes 3-4.5k. Loud, not really.
Idle and startup is still quite, WOT sounds loud in a good way, no drone.
Not much of cracking and pops. You will get a hiss sound and exhaust smell, i don't mind either
