I tried looking around and I cant really find an exact answer. Does anyone know if pairing the invidia dual exhaust with a testpipe will sound raspy? I heard that it helps with the drone, but I found locally a good deal on a skunk2 70mm testpipe and wanted to know if it was worth getting. Any input would be appreciated.

 

I have a Megan 3" single another loud exhaust with that same TP and mine is pretty "raspy" at WOT I love it. Ive never owned an N1 but i know the Megan is comparable... Just get on Youtube and search around, getting the facts on sound is difficult becuase its all based on opinion.

Edit:
Sorry you said dual, so i guess my first opinion is useless lol

 

i got the invdia n1 and there was so much drone.

then i got a tp and the drone was almost gone, from 3.5k to red line is a animal.
it is raspy but a good one IMO

 

 

I used to have that combination and thought it was waaaaay too raspy. And just ridiculously loud. Honestly it did not sound good to me. From inside the car with the top down, the transition to Vtec sounded like someone who was playing a trumpet that then suddenly blew as hard as they could making a blaring sound. Sounded like Doo Doo to me. Just in case you are wondering i no longer have the invidia. And it does still drone very badly. Just not as bad as before the test pipe.

 

my car has no rasp and i have invidia 70mm TP and 70mm megan cat back...Unless you guys have header or something else i understand rasp, but my car has no rasp when warmed up** I notice it is very litle raspy only when not fully warmed up(10min of driving) I dont think it will be raspy because you will have 2 fart cans instead of 1 like mine. Although this is just my opinion and i dont have ANY facts.

 

I had a N1 and picked up a test pipe it went on the car for 1 week.... It sound like absolute garbage to me.

I now have a Meagan 2.5" it sounds much better and not nearly as loud. I haven't decided if I am going to throw the test pipe on it yet.

 

Basic answer: yes.

A lot of people on this site have never heard an Invidia exhaust and just read bad reviews and such. I have had this exhaust and tp for over a year now and still love it. The volume isn't that bad after a week of driving, you get used to it. The raspiness seems to go away after the car warms up and I have literally gotten at least 50 different people tell me it sounds great. To me its perfect.

 

I have gotten quite used to the drone, but if thes test pipe helps a drone a bit then thats fine with me. Also does the pipe make the car backfire / popping soudns upon decceleration? My friends integra does it like crazy and he has a catback/test pipe. Not the reason why I bought it but just curious.

 

I have a 70mm invidia tp and dual invidia exhaust. The first 2 days I had it on i literally got a headache, but now I love it and its not even loud anymore.

In my opinion I don't think its raspy at all.
