advice on Test Pipes...which ones?
I've been off an on about ordering these for over a year now and I think this time I may pull the trigger and get a set of Test pipes just a couple of questions before I do.
Is it even worth it buying From the US, having it shipped to Niagara Falls NY and picking it up from there or just finding a Canadian supplier that can get them for me? For any of you G35/37 HR owners, if you're running a set of your car how is the sound, any rasp?? (I own an 08' Sedan) Thanks in advance or the help. |
There is so much restriction in the factory converters (OE) adding test pipes will give your G a terrible sound! Add test pipes to an OE exhaust is like putting 3 lbs of dog sh!t in a 1 lb can...get the idea? Better idea is Fast Intention high flow cats, same volume but not the harsh tone and rasp.

i go with gary. i had high flow cats and i still got a little rasp at about 3k RPM but not bad. sounds good.
if you are really set on test pipes get the art pipes. |
Gary is so right once again. I put test pipes on my stock exhaust and it sounded horrible.. If your considering anything with your stock exhaust Berk HFCs are decent..
|
Definitely recommend either the Berk HFC or Test Pipes or if your budget prevails, the ART Pipes.

Fast Intentions HFCs

I have Berk test pipes and I love them. I do get a little rasp under hard acceleration from 4k to 4.5k rpms.

I honestly felt bad about spending $600 on art pipes. Then I installed them and heard that sweet sweet sound!!! Every time I hear a g or z with straight test pipes it reminds me why I spent that $600 lol

Well I did get a set of Megan racing V2 res pipes, got them for a great deal that's why I'll try them out and see how the sound is, I do have Magnaflow mufflers so I'm curious and if they do happen to sound like crap I could easily get rid of them for the same cost I bought them for.
I just have a small issue now, the guy who had them never ordered the o2 sensor non fowlers, I'd like to get them before installing the pipes so I don't get a SES light. Any of you local guys have any advice for getting these? I know they sell them on EBay but just wondering if local exhaust shops carry these. I'm not even sure which ones are for my application. |
Fact Intentions NOT Berks!
