i love how the G sounds.. but i want it to be louder/ deeper... would love to get exhaust but dont wanna spend that much money yet... what do u guys think about test pipes.. whats the best to make car deeper/ louder... or any exhaust that sounds good thats not that expensive? helpp

 

I prefer the sound of HFCs to tp's but that might just be me

 

test pipes are going to make rasp

 

i loved my test pipes when i had my g, i had them on the HKS exhaust and it was perfect for me - quite, no drone and it would scream whenever i punched it.

I have had the crawford HFC, and resonated test pipes....in my opinion, the test pipes didnt rasp unless full throttle compared to the other two.

And DEFINATELY go to miami mufflers - they have sick test pipes for the g/z's allready premade with the bungs for O2 - didnt throw any codes and they where 100% awesome stainless steel built.

I paid about 260 installed if i recall correctly

 

yeah im not sure exactly what i wanna do.. i wanna make the car sounds good without spending that much money. whats the best thing that i can do?

 

i have test pipes and an hks exhaust, sounds pretty good. thinking about swapping them out for motordyne art pipes

buy a used exhaust in the marketplace

 

Motordyne ART Pipes FTW.

but they dont fit in your "i dont want to spend a lot of money category". lol

 

where can i get the motordyne pipes?... how much usually?

 

i have helix test pipes with custom piping and stock tip and I love it. But I will be changing set up soon to get ready for boost.

 

motordyneengineering.com, i think they're $500 - $600

 

I bought his resonated test pipes and they sound great with my HKS. Fast Intentions resonated TP. Do it meng

 

i had the titek test pipe with hks exhaust back in my NA days... loved it at WOT throttle... was pretty decent for cruise... if anyone complains about rasp at WOT then i think thas just ridiculous.

 

I have DC Sprot headers and Helix Test Pipes. Stock rest of the way back. Kinda throatly at idle and Raspy about 2500 RPM. Sounds pretty sporty for not alot of bux. Will be doin something else after the FI upgrade, but for now... I think any G owner would be happy.

Go for it Bro, you wont be disappointed. Additionally I am using a tune to mask the P0420 and P)421 Cat eff codes, but I see alot of people using the oil fouler method with decent results for MIL.

I don't think you get noticeable changes in sound from one test pipe brand to another. High flow cats and Test Pipes are two different things. Non-resonated (straight pipes) and resonated differ in flow, the first allowing for more flow. If you install Test pipes you can get rid off the Check Engine code (O2 sensor codes) with the installation of Non-Foulers (need two on each side, one drilled out). Ride with someone who has the set up you'd want to try and decide afterwards..

 

Not all the time. Mine CEL shows up all the time
