Hi, I was wondering if any sedan owners are running the tanabe axle back with any kind of test pipes? I am planning to get some test pipes for my car and would wanna know approx how it would sound like. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!

 

I have heard just the tanabes on a sedan and alone they sound great.....sorrry I cant answer the ? with TP's

 

yeah i currently have the tanabes on my sedan right now and they sound great! i just thought i shuold add the test pipes for more power and a bit more sound

 

Àre any sedan owners running with test pipes and an aftermarket exhaust system? Or maybe with stock?

Thanks! That sounds great

 

I currently am. It's considerably louder than stock. The reason behind going with Invidia Q300's + TPs was to essentially make the note of the Invidia's a little louder. The current sound...isn't much of what I expected. Not too raspy, but some present. It's still not as loud as my buddy's TL-S, 335i or 2010 STI - all with aftermarket exhaust kits, obviously.

 

I currently have the Tanabes on my sedan right now, would adding the TPs enhance the tanabe sound drastically or maybe just a ltitle bit? As a sedan owner, would u prefer getting TPs or HFCs?

 

Personally, I would go with HFC on my car since they are usually a little quieter and less prone to rasp. I'm not sure exactly how TP or HFC sounds with tanabe, just expect TPs to be louder with a higher chance of rasp. Resonated TPs help this. The resonators on the invidia really do a number with eliminating rasp from TP and HFC.

Here's a couple more vids. First 2 are tanabe + berk HFC, 3rd is invidia (I think older version before resonators) with non resonated TP

I have test pipes with stock exhaust. It's a little louder than stock and raspier. But I kind of like how it sounds haha

 

Thanks for the help guys! I think i might go with TPs to try it out. Heres the next questions, which brand shuold i will? Im thinking about Berks, but i see like Invidia, AAM, and GTM. My budget is around $350 for the TPs.

 

So I've decided to purchase the Berk test pipes to complete my setup with the Tanabe axle back. I was wondering if anyone knows how long it will approximately take for mechanics to install it professionally so I have a budget for installation? Thanks!
