Test Pipes

[imranman]

Any GTA owners running test pipes (preferably resonated) with a comptech exhaust. Curious to hear what it sounds like in person. Need my car to be louder!

non resonated is the way to go

I'm not a fan of the rasp though....which is why I think RTP would be perfect.

I have Non resondated TP and honestly not a huge fan... considering getting RTP or high flow cats in the future.

I have the RS-R which is very simuliar to the Comptech. I installed a set of standard TP's and it was literally no louder than before. I did pick up a terrible rasp though. TP's came back off. Not sure if the Comptech will be any louder.

I have a set of AP-X resonated test pipes and a gen1 comptech exhaust (headers too). I get no rasp or drone. Its louder when you get on it, but to be honest, they didn't seem make a difference to the sound at idle or normal driving - but that keeps my neighbors happy. My car is in the shop but when I get it back you can take a listen if you like.

Test pipes only sounds good when car is park and revving. Down side of having a test pipe is smells and hella drone went driving. Best bet is keep the stock cats or get a resonated test pipes.

I never had test pipes but have the ProSpeed 200 cats from Brian with my flowmaster muffler design I did.
Like it and its loud and V-8ish everyone says.

The throttle lag was before I got my FIC.

100% this. Please do society a favor and keep the cats. It gives us all a bad rep when some of our cars smell like rotten pig intestines are steaming out of the tailpipes.

Is removing the Cats and installing test pipes legal?

You can use them at the track but they are not legal for street use.
