So rn I’ve got a Tomei exhaust with z1 y pipe.
I know if I get test pipes or headers it would be STUPID loud. Do you think it would be tolerable with motordyne art pipes paired w either xyz with resonator, or possibly HBP 3 in resonated y pipe? I already know what to expect note wise I just want it to be tolerable sound wise.

 

The art pipes are loud. They were louder than my Berk HFC, which paired with my Ark Grip Catback was about the limit of sound I could tolerate. How's the drone with the Tomei?

 

the drone rn is really not bad at all. I only catch drone if I’m cruising a 3k rpm’s going like 80 but even then it’s not bad.

 

Not sure if you are on Instagram, but Vislow, is the handle, (Visal) is a friend of mine and he has a Tomei with ISR short tube headers with Motordyne ART pipes and HBP resonated y pipe. it sounds good and he says the drone isn't bad.

 

Anything you put from where you're at will be louder of course. The issue is for it to be tolerable you'll need to dump about the same money in other areas.
Kind of sucks since headers and pipes is something that will add in power however when you already started with the Tomei the issue you'll battle will be how loud can you actually tolerate it.

In all honesty folks should really start with headers and pipes first then work their way towards the back.

Its a cool looking exhaust and it's made out of TI however the loudness attributed to it is just horrible up until 6-8k rpm and lets be honest no true enthusiast will hang in that rpm to counter it's horrendous sound down low
