Swapping test pipe to HFC

Tomei Expreme Ti (Z33) | Invidia Test Pipes -> WAAAAY TOO LOUD
Motodyne Shockwave + Thunder Mid Pipe | Z1 HFC -> very loud, will likely run this at tracks like COTA just for fun
Tomei Expreme Ti (Z33) | Motordyne ART Pipes -> ran this for a long time, eventually was too loud for me as I couldn't hear passengers in the car and i've developed some minor hearing loss with extended use
Motordyne Shockwave + standard muffler| Invidia Test Pipes -> really good overall sound level. a tad loud but not obnoxious
Motordyne Shockwave + Standard muffler | Z1 HFC -> current setup and honestly really cleaned up the sound of the exhaust
Invidia Gemini | Invidia Test Pipes -> a really tame setup but also makes good noise when you get on it. nothing but complements with this setup.
Tomei Expreme Ti (Z33) | Stock Cats -> a bit unrefined but weight savings bro.
Invidia Gemini | ART Pipes -> honestly was a shock. very close to stock because of the hemholtz resonators. could barely hear it.
