GTM RTP + ARK exhaust

Has anyone done this? how does it sound? I know its loud but is there any rasp? I have an Ark CBE and ARK HFC now and there is a raspy whistle noise that has to go. I dont want to go back to stock cats because im tuning soon and want the extra power. But I dont want any rasp!!!! let me know, thanks. And if any one is selling a pair.. HMU!!

Any sort of test pipes or high flow cats will have rasp, no matter what the exhaust brand is. The only non-rasp hfc/tps are made by motordyne. I know Intec Racing has a pretty good deal on motordyne products; I've used that place prior. Nice guys Tell 'em Eric sent ya.

Really? Because I'm pretty sure my Berk/ARK combo is still lacking in the rasp department. For what it's worth I'm curious about this setup myself.

Did you have the ark by itself before you got the berks? If so how would you compare the combination of the two to just the ark by itself? I want to change my cats but don't want to lose the deep and aggressive sound just the ark delivers.

I didn't have the stock cats and ARK on mine, but I was able to hear another car next to mine and basically mine was just a bit louder. All it seemed to do was amplify the exhaust and give it a bit more of a bassy sound.

I think you're confusing HFC hiss with rasp.

You can hear the hiss/whistle from the HFCs in this guy's video when he revs the engine.

This is what I was afraid of. I love the sound of my ARK with HFCs but I'm scared to get test pipes because I'm worried about turning into a rampaging fart cannon of legend. Just like when I added HFCs to my MXP, things went straight to hell then.

Ah that's nice to know. I was real interested in the art pipes but they don't fit on my X which is a huge letdown.

I would imagine this is what the ARK sounds like with test pipes.

As a side note, I'm now considering picking up a set of Berk TP's. Sounds pretty nice after going through a few videos.
