which one is best aftermarket exhaust?

AngelNismo

LOL, anyhow on another note, heard the shockwave in person, at 3-4K RPM it's great!

FPenvy

what about 1-3k and 4-7k? lol

It's a lot less aggressive from 1-3 and sounds similar from 4K +. FPenvy I wish I could get mine to sound like yours but I'm really clueless exactly what to buy and I don't want to use any test pipes LOL, help me out!

BC416

Still can't decide after hearing about 6 different setups in person?

LOL hey brother! Def want to go with the shockwave, but we can't lie, FPenvy has the craziest exhaust videos lol

If you want your ears to bleed - no offense FP

I think we can agree that you don't want test pipes and AAM short tails.

test pipes really are the way to go for sound and better yet power.

most HP gains are with either test pipes/headers or long tube headers.

to get to my sound you need to be ok with being very loud and having in cabin drone. there's ways to dial it down with resonators and some dynamat in the car/trunk area. personally I enjoy it as loud and just nonsense volume that it is lol.

to solve your problem with not wanting test pipes your best bet would be to either start with AAM short tails and see if that gets you anywhere where you want to be.

although that'll be loud may not be the volume you want exactly.

kinda hard to pull off since not many CBE's come with a no muffler option nor do many short tails match up to anything but the stock exhaust.

soooo you're in a tough spot if you want big volume and stock cats.

LOL honestly I liked that set up, I just think it fell short of the shockwave on the higher part of the RPM bands which is why I liked the shockwave more

BC416

I hear ya - both setups were wayyy too loud for me.

Either way, as long as you buy something quality made - you will be happy.

non taken I know it's beyond anything else sound wise and def not for everyone.

I was happy to get a message this morning from a local guy who showed up to cars and coffee after I had left Saturday. he told me all the big exotic's guys were there talking about how awesome my exhaust was. plus how great and unexpected the sound is from that car.

it was nice to hear even the guys with aventadors and P1's enjoy the nonsense lol

FPenvy

what about my initial setup? maybe with a tweak or two?

my original non res TP and non res CF CBE from FI. it was really loud.
just swap out the TPs for HFC you still may be close to the desired volume.

We had a local meet and Angel showed up to get some ideas on how certain exhaust setups sound.

We had one with the Shockwave and ART pipes from Motordyne. I had the F.I. CBE on stock cats. Someone had the Grip with test pipes, Grip with stock cats, and the loudest of all was AAM Short Tails and test pipes.

Everything sounded great - not a lot of rasp - just some were wayy louder than others.
