That hasn't been my experience at all.

the Akrapovic x pipe, Challenge sport, Innotech X pipe and TTPs all had the same tone, but differed in loudness. The Akrapovic was the most metallic sounding and had a bit more resonance. The Challenge was just louder.

Rasp was the same.
The turner test pipes sounded the worst IMO. The gintani x pipe gave it a totally different sound and for the better

Most of my close friends commented on it too. Said the car sounded better on stock x pipe (gintani rear). But then when i swapped the x pipe for the catted gintani it sounded out of this world.

Another thing i didnt like about the TTPs was the random cheap sounding backfire and crackle it would emit from time to time.

Power was the same as my test pipes so the bang for your buck on these pipes is 95% of a catted x at least. My car picked up 28whp
