Done.
This is for the semi serious modder.
If your going serious than get something of better quality than the PLM Header.
Invidia will go great with your exhaust.

And i found that when i switched out my TP while it didnt make the BIGGEST difference in sound, it didnt add a very nice growl to it at lower RPM. However if it shits out your car is gunna sound like

My main point here is that don't go off spending $200 on a fancy test pipe; while a $60 does the same job.
Not true. 60 bucks will get you a used test pipe that may or may not throw a cel, you won't pass smog, it'll make your exhaust super raspy, and anyone behind you will smell your car, whether they like it or not. 200 bucks will buy you a new hfc that will allow you to pass smog, have minimal smell, give your car a meaner but not raspier tone, and have around 90% of the power gains as a test pipe.

If this is for a track car then of course none of those matter, but if it's a street car I think the extra dollars are worth it. All preference though, of course.


Go HFC if you want less rasp. I have a 70mm berk hfc with a greddy single and the tone is similar, just more aggressive and less drone.

Your not gonna have an annoying raspy exhaust by adding a testpipe to the spectrum SE....

This only happens with some of the obnoxious singles on the market for the S.

Any test pipe if the same diameter and non resonated will sound the same.
As for those saying you will throw a cel with a cheaper one. Just buy an anti fouler or two and you are good to go.
I am rocking a $30 ebay test pipe with 1 anti fouler cel fix and works perfect.
