i heard it envy sounds mean!!! are you tuned? how much power you get from the test pipes if you are?

FPenvy

i never have had it on a dyno but i want to once spring comes around. i know it's not useful now since i never did a baseline but i'm not taking all my stuff off just to know what i gained. i'm only worried about what i have lol

as for a tune i am not tuned. i do have an adjusted MAF table map that was given to me with my set of Akuma prototype intakes. it is needed for the set-up to run properly so i dont know if you can classify that as a "tune" per say.

I am number 654 cannot wait

So far my order is

Cbe with 18" res
Non res hfc
And some gen 3 intakes

My question is for all those that have heard them in real life what is your preferred combo with a hfc the 12 or 18 res or no res at at all ??????

so can't decide and YouTube doesn't help!

My car is daily driven for work so I need it to be a little tame when I want it to be, deff don't mind if its of its head when opened up though noise is not a concern then lol

FPenvy

i'm running full non res setup (CBE & TP) with CF cans and it's a monster when you get on the gas. but i DD mine to work as well and honestly when just cruising in between lights and in traffic it's still pretty tame. i mean there are times for fun i'll give it some loud pedal between lights and scare everyone around me. but thats just to pass the time in traffic

I am so tempted to go straight through i can just hear my boss in my head saying you idiot haha

The idea off scaring people is just to tempting.

FPenvy

there has been many times i come to a stop sign or red light and make people jump. i still get a kick out of seeing younger kids heads whip around for a second look whenever i get on the gas lol they always look at the car but at idle the exhaust is very tame even with the TPs like mine.

This has been answered quite a few times and I think it's mentioned on the F.I website.. The resonators are primarily there to reduce "drone" inside the cabin. Not for noise reduction outside the car.

Thanks I know what they are for however like it or not they still make some difference to the overall sound
There will be a difference between say a hfc and cbc vs a res hcf and 18" res cbe there is no way there wouldn't be a significant sound difference both inside and out.

I was simply asking what people preferred after hearing the the different combinations running, I am sure I am not the only one that’s a little indecisive at to what combination to go with.

Well i got the install done! maybe an hour and a half. The bolts sure were on there good!! I guess they dont use torque values lol. actually removed the intake tubes and got the demon bolts from the top with a long extension and bar, took maybe 10 minutes.

It is louder than i thought it would be with more drone than expected but its perfect!

I assume this is the hiss people here talk about? When i let off the throttle i hear a hiss almost like a rattle kinda.. put it in air and used my stethascope lol. Sound like its comming from the xpipe. Is this normal?? I would think its from scavenging and a vacum up at the front?
