Get some Fast Intentions test pipes

Fair enough, I apologize. I mentioned it only because I was looking for guidance or clarification .

Since we have that worked out, Get some FI resonated Test pipes. If you want it louder, get just the test pipes.

Okay, so general question, I would like louder but not drone-y. I get that the res help with this but does it take away from the overall loudness when I'm accelerating? I have the non-res cbe too if that makes a diff

well then go ask him about FI products for a local source of info.

but knowing him he will tell you to get LTH vs TP though.

regardless go get FI products. you already have the CBE should be an easy move to make.

NR TP are 290 and RES TP are 390 from FI. pretty solid pricing.

I think a lot of people like the combination of resonated FI exhaust with test pipes. Yes the resonators will take away a bit, but you're going to have to compromise if you don't want the drone. They will take a lot of drone away and a little loudness. Pretty good compromise for the most part. I don't see the resonated TPs paired with non-res exhaust being much different, but I don't see it talked about as much.

Resonated sections of FI exhausts pop up for sale on this forum every so often.

resonators only take down drone.

resonators do not change the overall volume. i believe even if it does it's barely an amount to even measure.

i run FI straight pipes and FI NR TP and NR CF CBE.

trust me i know what drone does

i think we tried to measure it a few years ago the volume drop on RES TP is nominal.
