No.. dont get the X-Pipe, HFC, or resonated test pipes.
I have a X-pipe that goes along with my ARK exhaust w/ resonated test pipes..
STILL RASP ALOT and i hate it... everytime i accelerate from 2k-3k rpm it sounds like my exhaust is leaking and too much hissing.
too much exhaust flow will give you rasp... so your better off with the OEM cats with restriction to eliminate rasp.. like it or not

They don't carry a resonated x pipe. I just called them. But this IS the one that everyone uses and works pretty good from all the videos I have seen.

That's....^....the correct answer to your rasp issues! It's not your replica exhaust or your headers but those straight pipes causing the noise you love so well.
To all of you that continue to call Magnflows X-Pipe "Resonated" it's not! It's exactly what is says it is, a X-Pipe that joins the exhaust pulses from both sides which replaces the dated T or crossover. FYI

The x-pipe sure "tones" the sound, but it also dramatically decreases in cabin drone. You can get the resonated x-pipe for under $100 shipped. Many X02 and some HKS owners have done this mod.
Here's what mine sounds like under WOT (better than simply revving from a standstill like most videos). I'm in the white coupe.

The part that is most popular with clone owners is Magnflow's 11385 and 14386 which is what most of us use. It is an x-pipe the is perforated, enclosed in a housing to dampen sound. It's actually a muffler, but use the term "resonated" loosely in comparison to an x-pipe that is not perforated nor enclosed in a housing, aka the standard traditional x-pipe.
My answer to all this....buy MotorDyne, they may have production issues but not quality headaches.Gary

Using the Magnflow part number 11385 they refer to it as a "Muffler!" I'm so glad I don't have a clone exhaust on my coupe, bad enough I was forced to add an X-Pipe to correct the HKS quality control error.... My answer to all this....buy MotorDyne, they may have production issues but not quality headaches.
