Vidoe of HKS exhaust with FI test pipes

Hey guys. I finally recorded a video of my car with the test pipes on.
I have the Crawford plenum, Fast Intentions resonated test pipes and HKS exhaust.

Link:

Here's my old video when I had the Crawford high-flow cats instead of the TPs.

Link:

I thought switching to test pipes would have yielded me some more power. I can't find my dyno charts, but I did a pre/post dyno on the same day/same dyno and gained 1whp with the TPs. I can deal with the smell of the gas, but the rasp is too much for me. I'm already in the process of trading my test pipes back for the Crawfords. I'll hopefully have them in the next few weeks.

Gotta love FI, just not a fan of HKS personally. Too high-pitched for me. Did you give your ECU time to adjust to the TP?

Both setups sound good to me. It looks like the camera is a bit further away from the car in the FI TP video. That would seem to indicate that your car is much louder with the test pipes.

I also wonder whether the ECU could have adjusted to the new test pipes before you dyno'd your car. I remember you drove your car around the block. Did you reset the ECU before the second dyno? It would be interesting to get another dyno now.

^^^I've heard your G . . . no it doesn't sound as good

Hey Intrigue, I like the way your G sounds with the Fast Intentions test pipes. Wow . . . very impressive.

Yeah, I would have to vote HKS after hearing just about every sound clip.

It's got a crazy "I'm gonna kick some @ss" to it. Very nice sound!

So, what's the HKS Hi Power kit cost for us? Isn't it like 2 grand or something like that!?!?

Would the STILLEN not yield better gains and be cheaper though??
