I saw one on youtube but he put the camera directly in front of the tips, so it was all distorted.

Not yet. What did you have in mind? I have a gopro hd2 I can put on the car. Just let me know placement preference and I'll go make a vid.

Edit: this is not my DD

GoPro mounted to the back window facing towards the windshield is a great shot and sounds perfect. Under the car is a little too distorted.

But my GoPro sounds perfect in my car

That gain is so small that I would not count it as being statistically significant...

I agree with Phil, a difference in a couple whp is probably just the dyno reading inconsistently

Currently there is no ETA on this midpipe guys, sorry I know I know.. I'm doing my best to push it but this month has our production team slammed

WOAH. Cranks the short tails up from a 6/10. To a 9/10 as far as sound.

Crazy

I'd like to hear resonated TP's w/ the short tails. I've still got that really annoying "rattlesnake" rasp around 2-3k when the car is cold. That might be a characteristic of all TP's though.

It doesn't really sound that bad at wide open throttle. You can tell there's a little rasp, but it doesn't sound anywhere near like marbles in a can, tinny / metallic.

Resonated test pipes will deepen the tone and remove a little rasp, but probably not all of it.

I heard good things about the resonated test pipes..

I think I would be one of the first to do that combo..

heres another video with non resonated test pipes

those crush bends will cause you to lose potential power. it will also screw with your exhaust sound. poor welds break or crack. ether way, it isn't perfect, but for that cost, not bad.

JC671 · 11-05-2012, 05:37 PM

Khoi, any updates on this?
