OEM X Pipe with Test Pipes Clamped on, plus Corsa Axle Back.

I will Friday. Curious to see how this compares to the OEM 2 pipe mod with resonated TPs...

One day into the Corsa with Resonated Test Pipes... overall, it's pretty good, but the upper RPMs I don't have the scream anymore that I loved with the OEM mod +TP. Also, the rev blipps are not as pronounced..Still undecided. suggestions would be appreciated!

Trade somebody for unresonated test pipes. The corsa doesn't need any extra resonators.

Could be... I've read a few times where people claim the resonated TPs are not functionally much if any different than regular test pipes... but maybe you are correct. I'm hesitant to swap them and try bc if I want to go back to OEM mod, I'd want them back resonated. oh well ..

Downshifts sound pretty epic by all accounts on the track.

I just drove it again... it's growing on me.. wish I could hear it externally and it might help me assess how loud it is. It is kind of crazy how Corsa has no drone, literally.

Yes it is quite deceiving from the interior

good to know! I think I'm getting sold on it... My old setup must have been crazy loud and I didn't fully realize it.

I've been reading through your build thread today, good stuff since I also have a SG E90. I need to swap the tips next to finish the exhaust up once and for all.

wfdeacon88 · 08-18-2019, 01:41 PM

ok, I had to run a mile down the road and let's just say.. I'm now 100% sold on this exhaust and TP combo. It's incredible sounding and gets better the more I drive it. Glad I found a keeper setup.

Nothing special here driving since I couldn't go much past half throttle, but I was trying to do some 2K RPM lugging to show how there literally is zero drone... it's impossible to get it to drone.

Nice! The best part is the high pitch exotic tone right around 4K rpm!

old thread, but bro you still got the corsas with the test pipes? or have switch things up. I have a valved frequency intelligent exhuast but I'm ready to tone things down but not too much and I keep coming back to corsa as an option.

I went with corsa and primary cat delete (test pipes). Very happy with it

out of curiousity; what kind of sound videos are you looking for that aren't in the original video?

I had a valved exhaust (Bomiz) prior to this and it sounded horrible IMO
