Default AP2 Mugen Exhaust

So after a 3.5 months of waiting, King finally shipped out my Mugen exhaust to me.

Is anyone using a test pipe with this exhaust? I'm debating whether to get a test pipe and install it at the same time or to install the exhaust alone first.

I'd like a deep, aggressive exhaust note but want to keep the drone to a minimum; any thoughts or advice are appreciated.

im wondering about adding a test pipe as well, i have the exhaust and love it to death...id enjoy some more power from the testpipe, but not at the expense of sound quality. i think s2kIInr (sorry if i screwed up the screen name) had a test pipe with his mugen exhaust...maybe he can chime in?

my mugen experience, the test pipe will make the car drone less while cruising at partial throttle and is a tad louder at WOT throughout the rev range

My buddy John is running the AP2 Mugen exhaust with ARC ti straight pipe. It makes the exhaust sound noticeablly louder. I think it's a good mod to go with the exhaust.

A pipe usually adds 5-7 decibels. Doesn't sound like much, but when you're starting from a base of 90 it's a lot.
