got my test pipes installed finally, I'll have a better video of it later on where i'm not in an enclosed area so you can get a more accurate sound.


-- I tried to embed the video in the post but it wouldn't let me do it, if someone wants to so that it's easier for others to view it directly please feel free to do so for me! Thank you. --

Thanks for watching.

 

sounds good your buddies G sounds good too

 

sounds good

 

Hey guys thanks.
Here is an updated clip of the test pipes that is better a bit.
Figured since the previous video was in a parking garage, the sound wasn't too accurate.

My apologies though for having the camera too close to the exhaust upon startup. Makes it sound a bit distorted but doesn't sound at all like that in person.

 

Sounds great and not annoying loud. any rasp? or very little?

 

Hey on the first AFTER vid in the parking lot, did you run over your buddy's keys after coming back around? lol

 

lmao I don't know if i did but so far he hasn't called. lmao.
Um actually Beebo. IN the car I thought I heard rasp so I was like "wtf man" so I had my buddy drive it, in all sorts of ways, rev up to 3k, 5k even, in both park and driving, he drove it light, drove it hard. with both windows up, and down.

at the end of the day while using up nearly half a tank of gas, I am safe to say that my car has absolutely no rasp. You swear you hear it in the car (but I believe thats just the pipes since they are right above the cabin), but outside you do not hear it at all.

no rasp, and I'm very happy with that. Thank God for resonated test pipes.

When I first installed them I initially put in some nonfoulers in it, and I had no CEL, so I was like "oh great sweet" but then a day alter I got it so instead, I took out the nonfoulers, and this time put in o2 simulators, and now 2 days later, I have no CEL so I'm safe to say I'm good

any more questions or inputs please feel free, by the way Chicago's heatwave sucks!

 

good to hear there is no rasp. How much did the set up all cost? Nismo Exhaust and Test pipes?

 

I always appreciate some good little videos and the extra effort. Good Job Tofu, sounds nice and mean now. I 'm having my Berk HFC installed this weekend so Im excited for a little change myself. Thanks for sharing. Take care my fellow G's.

 

Sounds very nice!

 

nice, what exactly are test pipes for? just to make the sound louder?

how would it sound with stock exhaust and test pipes? and is it environment safe, meaning will i pass inspections?

how much did it cost you and is it easy to install?

 

depends where your from but here in california no cats = fail smog.

 

I'm diggin it, sounds good man...

everyone in your hood has perfect lawns lol

 

nice vidz...your G is looking sweet too what kind of lip you got on your trunk??

 

Lol thanks guys for all the compliments I feel honored.

well first of all, the nismo catback retails I believe at 1400 + shipping (correct me if I'm wrong) but I got mine locally brand new for 800.

The test pipes are Megan Racing v2 (they come with the non foulers to prevent the CEL), BUT the nonfoulers for me didn't work, so I got the o2 simulators put in instead, and since then I haven't had a single CEL pop up. I got these off of enjukuracing.com and I paid 160 shipped to my door and it took less than a week.

The wing on my trunk I got off of spoilerdepot.com and I love it since it accents the car just enough for me.

and to pass inspections/emissions (minus CA), if you do not throw a code, then you're safe. Lately nowadays all emissions testers just plug into your OBDII and if there is no code, then no fail.


Thanks guys!
