Should I upgrade test pipes

Which test pipes all comes down to preference on price and sound.

There are plenty of owners out there that swear by the cheapest priced parts (ISR, Amazon/EBay, etc.) and there are others that choose to use known brands who's R&D built the modifications for the platform (Fast Intentions, Berk, Stillen, Motordyne, etc.).

Once the exhaust is changed, the sound will increase significantly.

I'll stick with the stock exhaust it has but I did notice it does have some growl when you step on it but it does sound somewhat airy, I'm assuming it is because of the test pipes allowing more air flow. I can hear the air whooshing out the back but I guess we can say that is normal, right?
