Well right now I have the K&N Intake. Which sounds AWESOME! The loudest intake ever. I will eventually get exhaust but first would like to purchase a test pipe. Does a test pipe add any kind of sound difference. And if it does, how would it sound with my setup... Deeper? Also, whats a good test pipe, I mean really, its just a pipe what can be different between the Invidia, Berk, T1R, J's?

 

I have a T1R, and it made a dramatic difference in the sound of my Fujitsubo.

Not sure about stock....

 

With a test pipe, expect more of a hollow sound. With the stock exhaust, something kinda similar to a 350Z/G35ish. It's makes the pitch a little higher. I'm running a TP w/ the Greddy Ti-C and love the sound! It does make it louder but also eliminates the deeper tone which some people consider "droning" and adds a hollow sounding wail!

As for which TP, Berks is a quality piece. Added benefit is that it has the check engine light eliminator built in. You can use a spark plug fouler w/ other TPs to eliminate the CEL too.

 

thumbs up for berk here too. i have the berk with stock exhuast and it sounds awesome. idle sounds stock. normal driving sounds stock. get on it and it wails nice. sounds f1ish. trust me that you will like it. not super loud. and the butt dyno likes it too.

 

Cool thanks for the feedback. I'm sure matched with a K&N I will be producing a very interesting sound. One more question. What are some good sits you guys shop on for mods? I have a hard time finding some of the parts that are mentioned on the site. Even on ebay.

 

I have a resonated test pipe I will be switching out for the invidia non resonated. Before I do this I will take some videos of the difference if there is any. Right now I have the resonated tp, and straight pipes to the HKS Hi-Power mufflers. Sounds good and kind of loud but I like it. Still has a good deep sound to it.

 

i got an invidia test pipe in yesterday and i need to know if i need a spark plug fouler or not?

 

A test pipe made my exhaust a little louder and deeper (I have a Blitz exhaust and Invidia test pipe). My only complaint is between 3500-4000rpm sometimes I get the "can of bees" note from the exhaust. Other than that it is worth it

 

Digging up an old thread...

I got the Berk's. Quality piece. No CEL. Bryan and his team are excellent people.

With my stock exhaust, my car sounds very much like a 350Z/G35 when I hit the gas. Raspy. The car sounds mean at WOT, but very close to stock with regular driving. I like it a lot.

But my car smells horrible now when I'm in a garage or waiting at a stop. I can't help but think I'm giving myself cancer.

 

I like my t1r testpipe, it has flanges for bolting your cat's heat shields around it. Looking under my car you would think there was a cat...but there isnt.
