Looking to get a bit more tone with the stock exhaust. Don't want to buy a new exhaust system. Which test pipe is best for what I am looking for?
Thanks in advance.

 

any test pipe will give you a deeper tone and free up some power too. I recommen the berk test pipe since it comes with the CEL fix. or just type in 'test pipe' in the search box and you'll find thousands of topics on test pipes.

 

T1R has a good one, its got the tabs to put the heatshield back on too, so you wont get a huge fine... makes it more disgreet

 

tp will sound like crap on a stock exhaust from the driver's seat and it's called the "tin can" sound. you need to get an aftermarket exhaust to rid the problem - do a search on "tin can" for more info...

 

that is when people remove the resonator. with a test pipe and stock exhaust it sounds the same, maybe a little louder.

 

A test pipe on a stock exhaust will not sound like a tin can at all, it sounds just like stock just a little louder... In still on the stock exhaust and my car sounds great.

This is what happens when you remove the resonator http://youtube.com/watch?v=aiQWitHJj-U

 

test pipe+ stock exhaust is slightly louder and does NOT have the tin can sound effect. Its a good mod, worth 3-4hp up top.

good to hear! yeah the t1r has tabs so you can bolt on the stock cat sheild making it super cool!

 

from what i hear a test pipe is the best bang for your buck, im ordering mine on next week. i'll be sure to put a before and after on youtube

 

im thinking of getting the berk tp too. sounds pretty nice
