when you come from an STi thats what you miss more lol!!!

If you want a nice torque adder, test pipes are great if you don't have them yet.

lol caps lock XD

anyhow i like the top speed test pipe because its cheap and is a quality piece, megan racing also makes a nice test pipe for around the same price($200)
they will add some rasp though unless you get resonated test pipes

i have them and i love the sound, it really opened up my nismo exhaust's sound

ill make a video when it warms up a bit so you can hear what it sounds like

To piggyback to that, I would highly recommend Fast Intentions Resonated TPs, as well as Resonated HFCs. Both will give you the quality and gains you're looking for. They come with an 8" resonator build right into the downpipe, whether in the TP, or immediately following the 300cell cat of the HFC.

After doing a lot of research of dyno charts and comparisons of HFCs vs TPs, the #'s are right around 1-2 hp higher at the peak for the TPs, but slightly higher in the midrange of the TQ levels of the HFCs, so basically nothing unless you're looking for "bragging rights" on a dyno chart.

IF you're planning to remain NA, I'd recommend HFCs>TPs. Keeps your exhaust sexy sounding with no rasp, and will give you the gains you're looking for.

Couldn't agree more. A quality HFC(F.I.) will provide a cleaner note, if you like loud and ballsy, RTPs are for you. Power wise is pretty moot. I will say, whole cruising or digging into it, the RTPs do have a bit more of a fun factor with that nasty note coming through.

Or **** it, go TT and get the best of everything,

Just a note, some exhausts turn to complete *** on test pipes. MY old HKS and ARK GRiPs responded like hell to berk TPs(maybe the Helmholtz dont like TPs|?). MEanwhile my F.I. CF CBE was just amazing with my RTPs.

lol can you explain what happened?

i love the sound of the HKS with non resonated test pipes, i also really like agency power as well with non resonated test pipes

ON-TOPIC
OP, get a mod that you like and dont worry about what others think, SRI vs CAI will always be debated on and on until the end of the world
i think its people arguing for the sake of arguing :P
