Yes I could do that....however removing test pipe and replacing the cat is much easier than removing header and replacing oem and cat. Just my thought process....haven't went forward yet.

Just don't sell the car. Problem solved.

As the saying goes...you got to pay to play! It just about how much is it worth to you. We are here to help you spend your money, LMAO!!! I have gone past the rabbit through the worm hole and into the black hole. I see Spooler as he is keeping me company.

If you did the above CBE you would be close. Long tubes have a smoother sound. I would also get the Prismatic tips. Get the Carbon fiber mufflers and 18 in. resonators. Call Kevin at Fast Intentions. He will hook you up.

drdfblackm · 01-16-2020, 02:49 PM

What difference does the carbon fiber mufflers make? I don't care to much about weight. Also not a fan of the burnt tip/colored tip look. Just me. I like either polished or black.

Looks like a very well made fairly priced system.

You get an exotic sound in the mid and upper RPM range. You can get regular polished tips.

For deep note you need resonated system, I have Fast Intentions with 12" res and motordyne LTH with resonated module (very close to johnny car)

This is the best clip I could get for outside sound.

But it drones, I don't know if 18" res will be drone free, a friend said his HKS hi power doesn't drone, and it is very quiet until you slam the throttle.

I have the greddy evo gt with ART pipes, not Supercharged, and it definitely drones. Which is unfortunate because it sounds amazing above 3k and WOT. I can’t wait to hear it fly by me or what people say when i take it to the track. There is a narrow rev range where you can eliminate the majority of the drone, or just stay above 3k

, and depends on what highway speed you go because i think 55-65 is drone. May be high too, I don’t remember.

Sometimes i wonder if my ART pipes are real because it has so much drone and people claim ART pipes reduce drone compared to hfc or test pipes, meaning their heads probably explode on a daily basis.

The idle and natural backfires are nice

I have Greddy GT also but I have FI resonated test pipes and while there is drone - like you say - it’s not at all bad - and it sounds aggressive and deep when you WOT.

I read somewhere catbacks are more responsible for drone, also engine mounts play a part, it was very good when I had stock mounts, with solid mounts, it became a lot noisier inside.

I love mine as well, but yeah, around 55-65mph(2500-3k rpm) it does drone. Currently running ART pipes too, but switching to FI resonated TPs in a few weeks.

Why the switch?

i have ppe LTH and greddy gt evo. i used to wear earplugs on the highway because of the drone levels. literally unbearable over long trips. anything from 2500-3000 rpm was hell. music above 3000rpm. ive since switched back to my hks hipower which is pretty much silent on the highway yet still makes a good noise when your into it.

This is the video that convinced me to go with the FI CBE and Berk cats. Listen to it with headphones or on a quality audio system. Although he doesn't' state it, I believe this FI setup is using resonators. I say that because mine sounds even louder and meaner.
