Header Wrap on Test Pipes

LostSol · 10-10-2013, 01:11 PM

Well the hardest decision for me now is if I should try another resonated test pipe or should i just get the ARK HFCs

From what I've read, the ART Pipes are about the only test pipe that doesn't have the rasp that everyone hates.

Mine has boat loads of rasp, but that's just one of the many noises it makes that you wouldn't want in your DD haha.

I just installed motordyne art pipes on mine and there is still a rasp. sounds like an angry rattlesnake or a busted *** trumpet around the 3k rpm range

I have the Ark Grip exhaust and FI resonated test pipes. There is no rasp and the setup is quite loud. I added DC Sports headers and it got louder but still no rasp. A tiny bit of hiss can be heard outside the car when really getting on it, but it sounds bad-***.

I had some megan test pipes on there for a while and she got a bit raspy around 4k rpm

I can only hear the rasp INSIDE the car. On the outside it doesnt sound near as bad. The rasp has actually seemed to die down a bit. Its like I just hear the air being forced out.. more like a puffy hiss vrs a rasp now.
