Angus AP-X Resonated Test Pipes vs 300 cell cats

[CL65 Captain]

I bought Angus' Resonated Test Pipes and installed them on my NSX with a Tubi exhaust. It was loud. Real loud. It was still slightly raspy when on power and cruising but gave a very raspy sound on deceleration.

I pulled them and just installed Angus' 300 cell cats in their place. Love it. :biggrin: It is quite a bit louder than stock. I would say about 60% as loud as test pipes, but no rasp, no drone and just a very small hint of gurgling on deceleration. Just perfect IMO. I was contemplating whether to go 100 cell or 300 cell and I can say that I am very content with my decision to go 300 cell.

I'm sure the sound and how it effects the sound is different with each exhaust but for my Tubi I think the 300 cell cats was definitely the way to go.

Thanks...

This is still on my to do list...

Just debating the 100 or 300 cell option...

I take it you have no CEL problems...

How many miles have you logged with the new cats?

Thanks,

Jeff

Just put them on, no cel. But imo they are plenty loud that I don't regret going with 100 cell.

I have Prospeeds 200 cells on my RS-R. It sounds ok but I've considered TP's.

Cool man, wish i had went for the cats. I got the tp's and they are still new but have decided to stick with the cats since my mod direction changed.

I have these test pipes with the ARK DTX exhaust and the sound is fantastic, one the best mods I have done to date. It can be loud but in the car it is fine. I really love the sound it is intoxicating.
