Default Semi-Stock exhaust with mods,

Hey, so my exhaust, stock, deleted the resonator, and just put in a eBay test pipe, and I'm running Js racing headers, but stock mufflers, it didn't sound too bad with just the resonator delete but still sounded stock, now with the test pipe it sounds raspy and ricey as hell, thinking about throwing on the cat again until I get a full exhaust. Ill post up the vids Tom,

You did it backwards, leave oem resonator with test pipe...sounds good not to loud, you want a little more noise? swap the stock muffers out for something aftermarket. I had the above and loved it. Switched to 70mm headerback dual...HATED IT

The resonator was already deleted when I bought it. And where can I get just tips?

Whoa whoa whoa.

You have a $1400 header and bought an eBay test pipe? All coupled with stock cat-back? I am thoroughly confused.

Also the sound is probably due to shoddy construction on your test pipe - too thin of metal.

I bought the car with the header, stock exhaust with a resonator delete, dumb but whatever, and I was given a off brand TYPE RS test pipe for free,

The resonator in the test pipe might be busted causing rattling/rasp sound. Common for the resonator to break apart inside of the eBay test pipes.

Yeah bro hate to say but that rasp sounds bad lol! Do the uk exhaust mod if you want some sound for cheap. I just did it and man what a difference

I've seen the uk mod before, I really like the outcome of it, is there a vid out there that can show me how to do it?
