so i have around $200 to invest towards minor performance upgrade. i currently have a HKS exhaust, mrev lower plenum and a k&n drop in filter. im trying decide on a motirdyne 5/16 iso thermal upper plen or resonated test pipes. not sure what to do..advice will be appreciated.

 

Personally, I'd go with the spacer then save up for art pipes.

 

^+1 art pipes over tp for sure, and there's really no better plenum than MDs

 

+2 regular test pipes are bunk and the plenum probably has bigger gains

 

^how are regular test pipes junk? imo the money spent on ART pipes is not worth the gains. A regular test pipe will do just fine.. especially if you're on a budget.



OP: go with 5/16 Motordyne spacer.

 

i didn't say junk i said bunk. and IMO regular test pipes are too raspy and dont sound good, i feel that the art pipes are worth the money so people dont confuse our cars with those of the s**t box honda community. i am not one for alot of noise it heats you out and draws unnessicary attention

 

ah my bad. Well, ART pipes make your car loud like test pipes so that causes unnecessary attention. As a matter of fact, adding any exhaust on our cars with exception of a few are loud enough that could attract unnecessary attention.

 

Yes but of all the test pipes the arts r the leist intrusive and I runa. Stock exhaust still lol

 

Yeah but ART pipes are ART pipes remember? Neither HFC or TPs. So you can't really compare! =D

The sound of ART pipes is nothing like a test pipe. It's actually... Music to my ears.
