Hey guys i saw a post couple of days about a racing straight pipe.Did someone say it wasn't worth the buy? Or it sounded like a ricer.I've got the greddy evo and placeracing CAI.I just bought the straight pipe , anyone know the expected gains and the sound? please help

 

it's was me. I'm runnin racing pipe,stillen y's and greddy cat-back and I'm thinkin about removing my racing pipe cuz it sounds sooooooo nasty and ricy......my mechanic told me the way the race pipe is made it's tilted lil and he's sayin that it could be leak from the tilt.....so he's gonna fix that problem......

 

My test pipe made almost no noise difference.

 

What about that little fuzzy noise

 

wut kind of race pipe r u runnin on??

 

which one is better...? a race pipe or a cat. converter in terms of gains....?

 

in terms of gain race pipe.....def.

 

I belive he has the one from www.custommaxima.com its basically a mini resonator, thats why noise isnt effected much at all.

 

 

I got one from CustomMaxima.com too but mine makes nasty noise.....

 

Thats what mine is. They have a built in resonator....

 

Hmmm...I think I know what your problem is. The Greddy catback has one of the smallest resonators ive seen. IF you want to get the greddy resonator cut off and add a 22" magnaflow resonator im sure it will still keep things nice and deep but quiet down any raspy noises.
Your call man, steve's ride has the cattman cat-back which has a pretty decent size resonator on it. I think its 18", I have the cattman b-pipe but the rest of the piping is custom to the magnaflow. The muffler looks better then the cattman but its deeper and at times more anoying. I dont have the test pipe however.

 

just wondering...can u guys pass the emission test with the race pipe on?

 

How would you pass emission when there are no cats on the car I Actually a 3.5 might but im not too sure if the two pre-cats in the front are going to be enough to make it pass. If yuo have a 3.0 with a y-pipe and a race-pipe there is no way in hell your gonna pass. I just left me stock cat on, if I had a 3.5 id get the race-pipe because it still has the pre-cats. You dont have to worry about emissions for like 5yts FYI.
