test pipe help/opinions

so i want test pipes. but i havent heard resonated or non resonated. what do you guys think i should get? i like when it spits and backfires, but i dont like the sound of a cheap tuner. im not quite sure the difference in sound. also, what brands would you guys recommend? any help would be appreciated. thanks

You'll get a ton of rasp with non-resonated test pipes.

I had some Megan Racing Resonated pipes. They sounded great, but the flex joint on them blew out and in the end I was not too happy with their durability.

BTW: I have some fast intentions resonated pipes (good condition) if you would want to buy them. Since I am going to an LS1 set up I can no longer use them.

I also have a set of wrapped nismo headers if you are looking for some more power with a tune.

I have double resonate TP and Exhaust both Fast Intentions and its sounds great. It really really helps to have a good exhaust to go along with it.

I have been in communications with Tony at Motordyne for the past several weeks... he had asked if i would be interested in test fitting the prototype for the AWD Sedan version of the MD ART Pipes... which I was all "HELL YEA!!"... but after additional conversation about the prototypes themselves... he decided to send the RTM (Release To Manufacture) version... if they fit properly... they are mine to keep.. for a SUBSTANTIAL discount for being the "Lab Rat" for the X Sedan version!!! Not too many G35x's in Cali... so yea... LOVE the sound of the ART pipes.. several vids on You Tube on various G coupes and sedans with ART pipes and various exhaust system configs...
