using only ONE test pipe

Quick question....I had both test pipes on before with a z tube, and stillen intake and had TONS of rasp, now I have only ONE in with the z tube/intake, MD plenum, HR "Y" pipe, and a muffler delete............now I have little to no rasp, all throughout the RPM's.....but I only have one test pipe in (non HFC) cause I stripped out a bolt and will have to wait till tomorrow to get it up on a lift....but driving it, it sounds great....jsut curious if it will cause any problems..

Test pipes and muffler delete, what did you think it would sound like? If you don't have the $ to mod your exhaust the right way leave it alone....
Chambered test pipes or HFC's would have made your OE exhaust system sound good or better yet a cat-back exhaust. Put your OE cats back on, it won't sound good with those test pipes and muffler delete....ever!

Hey, genius.....I am not complaining about the sound.....I was curious if it would be detrimental at all....

I think it sounds pretty good, but to each his own.... I wasn't asking YOUR opinion on what you THINK it may sound like, I was asking if you think it would cause any problems....

Umm dude I would NOT do that at all.. Put your cats all back on or both test pipes on.. You have un-even back pressure in both banks.

So when you post you have "TONS OF RASP" that's supposed to sound good? If you don't want suggestions post what you're issues really are. No one I know unless they were retarded would enjoy any "RASP!"

+1. I agree with Gary, but to each their own man. It's your car and it's just our opinions.

Dude, why would you do this? Put back on cats until you can afford to buy 2 test pipes. It's like having one smoked and one non smoked tail light.. It just won't be right.

Wouldn't that result in uneven flow?
