Stillen CBE+non res test pipes?

dichoi · 03-15-2014, 03:13 PM

I currently have the gen 3's and the stillen cbe, and I think the car is a bit too quiet for my liking. I'm planning on adding some berk non res test pipes to the mix and was wondering if anyone has had experience with this kind of setup? I.e. liked, disliked, what you would change etc.
Thanks in advance!

I have resonated test pipes. LOVE IT.

Get ready for rasp and hiss though

thanks for the input. I actually don't mind the hiss. Where in the rev range is it really raspy? I'm also assuming I'll get even more of it if I go non-res...

Maybe rasp isn't that bad, or I gotta rethink what rasp "technically" sounds like.
Hiss and all sorts of crap noises like a mother on decel.

I'd say go with RTP's to keep the rasp down. The power difference will be marginal if any

Honestly, straight through resonators don't do much, mine are double resonated, and they STILL rasp/hiss like a mother.
But I learned to live with it and like it

i'm trying to find a video of what it'll sound like, but no such luck. sound quality on youtube isn't the best either. but i will consider RTP's as well.

I'm running berk hfc, gen 3 and stillen cbe, sound awesome. Hiss is present and it drones a little at low rpms trottle on the freeway but I can't complain
