I tried to get back to it thismorning and it wouldnt let me upload again. Id rather do that because like it was said google is slow as I am just finding out. It could be days before the vid is approved.

Ill try your link again

ya thats the only thing that is holding me back...what it will sound like under load/while driving. As Don_w and I have both experienced, LM/straight pipes without cats and a mid-pipe create a trumpeting sound. The only thing that gets rid of it is 1. adding the cats back in or 2. adding a chambered muffler. Now, if these FRPP (non chambered mind you) mufflers get rid of the trumpeting like a chambered muffler would...then I am solt.

Its a catch 22.....to get loud.....you have to remove restriction. To get a deep, growling, muscle sound....you have to have some restriction. Finding the happy median is the problem. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/banghead.gif[/img]


so we will see.

And as it turns out, hi-flow cats aren't enough "restriction" to cure it either.

So, Richard... you try the FRPP/Borlas and I'll try the Bassanis, and then we'll meet somewhere to hear them both.

well, they were enough on my car. Once I put the bassani hi flows back in to the set up...combined with the shorty headers, xpipe, and straight pipe exhaust....the trumpeting was eliminated...especially where it was the worst at ~2,500k under load. I have a video on my site that shows it. BUT....I want something that is deeper and more growly.

but yes, we definitly can meet up to compare.

I wonder if it is just the difference between the STs and the LTs then? [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/headscratch.gif[/img]

If I had to guess I would say the frpp trumpet but not as bad as the lm. Or maybe they trumpet as bad but have a different tone to it. I think the best idea is for yall to meet and compair them side by side. I dont know if yall will like the frpp or not. It does have a much different sound under load at 2500 but the rest of the rpms sound so good I am overlooking it [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/icon_mrgreen.gif[/img]

I have heard borla stinger's and a bassani catted x-pipe in person and it sound's really good. It would sound even better with an h-pipe . Slp and prochamber sound's better though. [img]style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/biggrinjester.gif[/img]

I would like to hear how a prochamber sounds on the frpp. How would LT's effect the sound...just change it or will it get even louder?

Hey Adam do you have a vid of yoursetup?

Still have not had time to get more vids but I installed a C&L with some bammachip tunes and I swear the car sounds a little better...along with hauling much booty!

I cant really hear the intake over the exhaust...it just makes the exhaust sound better I guess. Different flow of air I suppose....im totaly happy with it tho. I just need some headers either LT or short's....probably lt's.
