well i can definatly tell a difference as far as power goes but....... now my car sounds like a "honda". it sounds really good when i get on it but when im just driving normal it sounds so .......rice . so, im going to keep it on, only b/c of the gains.

 

which tp did you get?

 

Test pipes sound and smell like CRAP. I had the megan on for a day and removed it right away, the tin can sound and nasty smell (which attracts cops) is definitely not worth such tiny gains.

 

invidia

 

I have one on a stock exhaust...it definitly doesn't sound rice

 

depends on which exhaust you pait it with i guess..
if it's on the stocker it'll sound a slight bit ricey, but throw that bad boy on with an Invidia or HKS and it's a whole 'nother world

 

I've got the T1R 70 with a 70mm TP, and while it does sound deeper, I definitely wouldnt say it sounds ricey. IMO it depends on how you're driving it. If you stay below 3k rpm and try to accelerate, I could see what you're saying. So instead, just downshift and you're good to go.

And I love the "smell".

 

oh i love the smell too, btw i have the greddy TI-C
