thats what i said 12" = loudest

+tp = best gains. i was looking at the dyno sheets and test pipes have a few more hp compared to the sheet with hfc's

yes 12" are louder then 18" but you can also go no resonators on the exhaust. Test pipes comes in resonated or non-resonated.

True..Test Pipes do produce more HP than HFC's bu not by much...and you will only see the gains at the top end

i have the MXP Resonated Test Pipes with MXP CBE... i love my setup! you could search youtube for my dyno video if you're really curious on the sound.

it's raspy, but kinda in a good way... once cruising in 6th gea,r the in-cabin sound is surprisingly quiet!
