Anyone have this setup? I'm wanting to get test pipes for the extra power, and I'm looking for an exhaust that won't sound too raspy. I've considered Invidia, and topspeed, but from everything I've read a catback is mostly sound, so I figure why not just go with axle back? Tanabe sounds pretty mellow on it's own, so I'm hoping it will sound good with test pipes. I've also considered getting a custom magnaflow axle back setup made to go with the test pipes.

Any thoughts? I've heard topspeed y back with test pipes and it has lots of rasp but never heard tanabe with test pipes

 

I know it's not exactly on par with what you asked.... but I will say Berk HFC's have a ton of rasp. I ran an Exoticspeed catback for a bit and it was loud enough to cover the rasp and sounded awesome (will be for sale soon lol). I currently have Tanabe Medallions and it sounds great, but still does not cover the rasp from the HFC.

 

Both running axle back and Berk HFC, but don't hear any rasp? Is the video sound deceiving? Also inquiring about rasp because I'm looking to do the same setup.

 

coupes always sound much different I've found..

 

Hmm that video above with the Top Speed/ Berk HFC has a pretty high-pitched note to it. Makes me kind of worried for my ART pipes but the resonator should help on those.
