Default S-pipe made my car sound like as_

Stock header, ark cat-back, then I added a Megan s pipe.

When I give it more than, say, 20% gas it sounds like crap- to out it nicely. Sounds like pre-rasp.
I'm going tomorrow to get the stock s pipe put back on. This is just retarded. I can't believe these cars are that rasp happy.

Oh, and I did a ton of research. 98% of you said adding a s-pipe would make no or minimal difference to the sound. Well, I am here to correct you. I got about a 50 decibel increase. It's ridiculous. Oh well.

Yeah, it did at first. Guy who installed it at the shop left out a gasket but then installed it and that helped.

Whenever I give it a decent amount of gas, it just sounds like the rasp monkeys are screaming to get out.

downpipe doest add rasp my man,just makes the tone a little louder thats all....its more likley your exhaust that sounds like that,

if you had on a header i could understand,but i myself have the megan drift spec and s-pipe and no rasp at all,so either you got a leak or it wasnt installed right or something else

Woooo my bad.


Took to muff shop today and told dude to tighten the two bolts where the s-pipe connects to the midpipe.

Wa-la. It's quieter and doesn't rasp.
