That's one of the great things about a TT kit. The turbos not only make the exhaust quiet, they take away all the rasp. Get the test pipes! Your turbos will spool faster and you car will still sound great. Mine is not even as loud as it was before the TT kit and oem cats and has no rasp at all!!!

This is true for N/A and SC cars, not turbo cars. With the turbos in the exhaust flow everything changes. My car has no rasp at all and is still nice and quiet.

100% true. I was so scared to get test pipes because the Kinetix HF cats I had before with my Stillen kit were too loud for me. My car is no louder than before with the oem cats and spools so fast now! The only thing that changes is it smells more and sounds a bit throatier but the overall volume (dB) did not increase.

And the resonated TP do nothing for sound. The resonators are too small.

Your right about VRT taking their time. I've been waiting on pins n needles to get my X back. So far, Michael says it drives like a dream Last we spoke he was workin on the VDC issue, breakin and final tune.
What is this KP VDC module???
