RM racing exhaust with test pipes

[Eric Von Prescott]

I have a RM racing exhaust with everything else stock. Was thinking of getting the pride rfl with test pipes but thinking I might want to try test pipes with the RM exhaust first to see How it sounds. I did a search, anybody here ever heard a RM exhaust with test pipes?

The test pipes just replace your catalytic converters. Likely not going to have a huge impact on exhaust tone. I will tell you the Pride RFL is LOUD and resonates between 2000 - 3000 rpm. The RFL has no silencing what so ever. If you want to be noticed, this is the exhaust system to get. I tried the Pride Resonated Test Pipes (RTP) with the RFL in hopes that it would eliminate the resonance. The RTP helped but did not completely eliminate the resonance. I also didn't like the exhaust stink without the cats.

On the track however the RFL is the exhaust to have. Just makes the engine sing.

test pipes really add volume and db to the exhaust sound...I ran them with the taitec gtlw and its fun for about 6 months.....I tripped the db meter at limerock and incited mayhem with every ricer/sport compact on the road....

Thanks for responses. Do you need a tune to run test pipes?
