B Pipe Sound Question

DarkFit · #1 (**permalink**) 10-06-2009, 12:52 AM

How much more sound does an aftermarket B Pipe (such as the Aspec) produce compared to the stock B Pipe?

I have an Aspec axle back right now and I am debating whether or not its worth buying an aftermarket B pipe. I just want my exhaust a little louder than what it is right now.

So would it be significantly louder or not even noticeable, compared to the stock b pipe?

Thanks.

Yo yo, yes the B-pipe will help make it a little deeper. You should just run what I was: aspec header, keep stock cat, aspec b-pipe, aspec axle back. That right there is a great sounding exhaust set-up. IMO

If you do just the B-pipe it will sound deeper

its all depends on the size and if the b pipe has a resinator.

it mostly makes the exhaust deeper in tone.

get j's cause it is a straight through design and will really make a nice tone.

Thanks for the replies guys.

I think I am just going to go with the Aspec B Pipe as the price is much better than the J's.

the j's b-pipe is not resonated, so it will not give a nice resonated sound. it would be more of a raw, popping, droning, and farting noise. i'd suggest a resonated pipe unless you want your car to be an attention whore haha, or you're turning your car into a track monster that will be worthy of the noise it generates.

the aspec b-pipe hangs low (just like the megan b-pipe). if you're lowered, there is a possibility that the resonator will get caught in some driveways depending on how well you're able to angle in. i had to sell my megan b-pipe because i was slammed and couldn't get into my apartment garage without coming in practically parallel to the driveway.

for a cheap fix you can buy worm clamps at any auto-parts store and pull the b-pipe closer to the car VIA the exhaust hangars. you can raise it up a good inch to an inch and a half; however, it will still hang lower than the OEM b-pipe.

@Bori

I think I am going to keep my cat lol.

@GD3Wagoon

My car is now lowered at all, still on stock springs.

But I read that the Aspec is the highest sitting aftermarket B pipe, am I right?
