So i bought megan racing resonated test pipes a while ago and thought it had a little too much rasp for my taste, and wanted to do something. I basically bought heat wrap for headers, people usually use these to wrap dirt bike headers to stop the heat from burning their legs. After using these for about a week i can honestly say that it helps out with the rasp drastically. My guess is the test pipes are so light it and thin it rattles alot under WOT, so by adding the wrap it absorbs alot of the vibration, so you dont hear the rattle out the end of your exhaust. My exhaust is definitely sounds lower then before, kinda like high flow cats with a higher flow. I would say its definitely worth getting if you dont like the sound of test pipes but dont want to spend alot of money on high flow cats. Just thought id share because i seen alot of people on the internet asking if wraping the test pipes help, and id say it does. The best part was i wrapped it while the test pipes were still on the car. very easy to do. ill load videos soon.

 

Got any sound clips?

 

I was thinking about doing this too.

 

I'll post some up but i gotta double stick tape my license plate first, rattles when i rev too high.

 

to be honest, i never believed this would work but after seeing a couple people do it i guess it does.

 

sound clips!!!

 

Where did you get the wrap from and how much?

 

i was kinda 50/50 and just wanted to try, and im happy i did because it definitely works.

ill try to get some on the weekend.

this is the one i bought http://store.newlevelmotorsports.com/heextawr20de2.html

 

Did you just use hose clamps to tie it down? .. and is one one roll (2x25') enough to cover both test pipes? TIA!

 

yeah i used the hose clamp or pipe clamp? i cant remember, but basically the same type for aftermarket intakes. and yeah the 25" roll had a little left over after wrapping both test pipes.

 

sound clip pleaseee and is this on a stock muffler system or aftermarket?

 

stock, check out my signature it has the list of parts i have on the car.

 

updated with a video.

 

I recently bought a set of Megan Racing V2 test pipes. I wrapped them with thermal wrap as well, but I haven't gotten the chance to put them on. I have a few questions though:

1. Are these the Megan Racing V2 test pipes with the flex pipe?
2. Do they throw a CEL on your car? What year is your car?
3. Did you use non-foulers?

I'm asking because my car is an '04 and I'm not sure if these test pipes need non-foulers because the O2 bung looks long/extended out enough, but it doesn't hurt to double check. Thanks.

 

i dont know if i have the v2 pipes, maybe, but i do have the flex pipe, and yes my car has the CEL on 24/7, i have a 2007, and i have no non-foulers because it doesnt work on my year anyway. i think the stock extensions on the test pipe should be perfect with your year.
