Does anyone have a sound clip for a test pipe installed in their CL-S, I am thinking about purchasing one but i dont want my car to sound all ricey .

Also I am looking for a dyno im curious to know if its even worth it. I know what they are "suppose" to produce hp wise, but im looking for someone with first hand expeirence.

thanks

 

well worth it imo. what's your exhaust like atm?? stock??

 

I have a P2R test pipe installed. I'll try to get a clip of it up soon.

 

gfrg88- As far as my exhaust set-up right now all i have is xs headers, and magnaflow mufflers(came with the car), pipiing and cat are the stock.

CL-Slick that would be greatly appreciated, the p2r test pipe is the one i was looking at purchasing too.

 

I'll try and get on it before the car goes in the shop. I have MagnaFlow 11214 mufflers on mine so the sound might be close.

sounds terrible

 

^ I KNOW!

But is this what the O.P wanted?

 

yeah not feelling it, vtec sounds nice though ahahha

 

Mine sounds nothing like that, I left the resonator in.

 

so take a video, we want to see how it sound!!

 

Ok, I'll try to tomorrow. I would now, but it's almost 11:30 and I don't think the neighbors would appreciate it.

 

Thanks Slick,

also where did you purchase it from, i just looked on P2R's website and cant find it, maybe im blind but i didnt see it

 

I found mine for sale in the BM back in December.

 

Alright guys, I made some videos as promised. The quality is kind of crappy, but it should give you an idea of what it will sound like. The first video is on the outside and the second is from the inside of the car.

Thanks alot for the vid Slick, sounds pretty good! Looks like Ill be looking for one soon.

 

The site you buy the test pipe and other goodies from is here.

alot of ppl seem to have trouble finding this site.

 

Thanks for the test pipe, Brian. I am really enjoying it!

 

No problem at all, man. Gave me an excuse to go romp on the car some!

 

i kinda want a test pipe but the thing that deters me is the smell it produces. im in traffic a lot, i dont want to be smelling that on my way to work and school

anyone have a problem with it when your stuck in traffic?

 

The smell isn't that bad to me. The only time that I have a problem with it while sitting in traffic is if I have the windows down and the wind is blowing. Other than that the smell really isn't much of a problem. I have the parts sitting in my garage right now to turn the CEL off. That's next week's project.

 

Electric cut out is the best way to go IMO

 

i am getting a high flow cat put in. my reasons are.... 1 my friends s2000 and RSX sounds like a typical ricer with a test pipe. 2.also it smells like (no offense) a trail park dirt track race. 3. CEL light.

he had a High flow cat put in the s2000, no smell, no raspy ricer noises, and his CEL isnt on.(anymore)

oh and best of all, i dont wanna shoot him when he drives past my apartment at night

but thats just me

 

FAIL!!!!!
U Loose a crap load of Torque with a cutout and it sounds like a crappy v8!
iknow cause i had a 2 1/5 inch cutout installed and i hated it so i removed it !

 

you can get the xlr8 high flo cat but its 3 times the price of the test pipe. I am gonna go with high flo cat, magnaflow resonator, custom 2.5" piping and comptech mufflers.

 

Does Anyone Know how it would sound with stock resonator and stock mufflers!!
im gonna go to the muffler shop to make me a Test Pipe!!

 

I would like to hear that

 

yeah the Bronze colored cl vid sounds like complete Shit!!
Cl Slick's Vid sounds pretty good bt not for me
now we need a vid of a TEST PIPE with stock Res and mufflers
and i think im gonna have to make tht vid!! LOL

^ Sounds sweet!

 

That's what I was thinking. thanks! For everyone who wants to put a test pipe on their car, my advice to you try to find the vid clip of (clnusped) or how ever you spell it and listen before doing it. Rasp out the ass, you think the EVO exhaust sounded bad? HA Terrible sound. People can bash electric cutouts all day, but if you can remember a guy (scalbert) with his turbo CL ran electric cutouts and made stupid power. Talk about losing tq down low? Look at the amount of roll races you guys do over digs. A hell of a lot more roll races which means your rpms are right around 4k when you start. A touch of a button opens you cutout and there is all your high rpm hp, you won't be sweating the tq curve then. And tune it for open exhaust, game over. I will post the dyno results when my harness comes in and the tune is gone.

 

Yeah my cousin has one on his Eclipse. Definitely let's it breathe up top and the growl of it is kinda mean. I wouldn't suggest it for NA though. You should have the bite to go with that kinda bark.

Oh and

 

Dude Just cause a cutout Gives u a slight increase of hp in highs?
its too crap sounding and plus sounds like u have a huge exhaust Leak lol IMO

 

Slight increase? http://camaroforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=33354 i just googled that real quick. Granted they are v8s, but why could our v6 not experience similar gains? And you want to know the best part about the cut out vs a test pipe or another exhaust set up? You get to run completely stock exhaust with a sleeper look and you can change the sound in under 2 seconds by pushing a button. Who doesn't want a button to put them in stock exhaust mode then race on the fly? I personally love the sound, (mainly when I am running the shit out of it) but if I am driving to the grocery store obviously I would not have it open for everyone to be like look at that ahole. lol Random street races and the track, thats it.

 

Oooo Your Talking about an Electric Cutout
Thought u meant the one u have to unscrew off
And noooo Our v6 wont see the same results as a LS1 or LT-1
Its like a K20 or K24 with a CAI against the J32 with CAI
For Some reasons the K Motor will get more HP GAINS for some reason than our J Motor!!

LS1 will get 30 hp (what was said in the link u posted)
and we'll get like 5-13 hp!
And its not much of a difference cause when i bout my 02 cls it came with a cutout and when i capped it it didn't make too much of a DIFFERENCE!!

 

It will be worth it for me because I will have a tune for wide open exhaust and stock. I will be able to load in a min from the laptop.

 

What are you driving auto or 6 speed?

 

No, but I am pushing 10lbs of boost and spraying methanol.

Dude i never knew u had a SC

^you didnt hear it in the vid?? lol his cutout will sound different and have better gains then n/a
