New XLR8 High Flow Cat Installed With Some Videos!!!

Ok guys, finally i replaced the test pipe with xlr8 hfc, took the car out for a test run, so far so good , the raspiness has been dramatically reduced and yet it's still got the nice aggressive tone...

this is the rest of my setup btw: aem v2, p2r tb spacer, atlp j pipe, xlr8 cat back. the following videos are still being processed as i am making this thread, hopefully they'll be ready by the time i get done typing

here is the video with the test pipe on, if you turn up the volume you can here the raspy sound.

Do you have the XLR8 Resonated or non Resonated exhaust system?

OP, I'm wondering if this helps at all with the drone. Did it improve at all?

sorry for the mistake but you all know what i meant.lol
i got the resonated version cat back, yea i am gonna give it a litttle while, if the drone doesn't get any better i am gonna call it a waste of money and stick with your test pipe.

i just thought of something, i don't know what could this kind of problem, but you see i have AT, when i am cruising at certain speed and i decide to excellerate a little bit, the car won't speed up nor does the rpm should rev up like it's supposed to, the only thing that does increase is the stupid drone until i slam on the gas. so is there anyone else experiencing this kind of problem?
