Does it sound raspy? I just canceled my megan racing after searching on the forums. Seems like the Megan Racing is pretty raspy...just re-ordered an invidia one and was wondering if it'll sound raspy /w the stock exhaust system.

My $.02 is that a TP is a TP. I ordered the Berk because it's slightly larger (we're only talking 3mm though) than the Invidia. I'm not sure what size Megan is for sure... but as I recall, it's identical in size to the Invida.

I still can't get over how LOUD the TP made my exhaust. It cut the freeway drone in half, but the exhaust is at least 50% louder at WOT. The other night I was on a major street and floored it off a green light. I actually set off a car alarm parked in front of blockbuster, at least 25' away from the street.... with my silencers in.

Does the Test Pipe on Stock Exhaust for an AP1 sound raspy?

It does not make the stock exhaust sound raspy at all. In my opinion (and I'm sure 99% of you) think it makes the exhaust sound just right.

Listen for yourself. This is a before and after. 100% S2000, only change being our test pipe.

100% stock vs. Berk Test Pipe only

i had the megan TP. not raspy at all. it should be the least raspy TP bc it has that tiny resonator. i have the berk tp now.

I might have mixed up a TP and the resonator cut out as far as rasp is concerned because after hearing the berk vid, it isn't raspy and sounds quite good.
