Invidia test pipe/exhaust setup
I for one have this set up and had the exhaust for 6 months before I added the test pipe. I have had both for 2 months and it seems the exhaust has gotten louder, it even seems to backfire when shifting between gears.
Has anyone experienced this? I want to know if this is normal or if maybe something is wrong with the exhaust.
Thanks.

AP1's run rich anyway
you can always get a VAFC or EMS to tune it a bit
i wasnt too concerned about the backfiring but
one night my buddy was following me and i took
2nd to redline and let off and he told me no bullshit
i had blue flames shooting out
after hearing the backfire i guess its possible but
i have yet to see it

I have the same setup, and yes, every once in a while I might hear a very slight backfire.
VTEC sounds 1000000x better with a test pipe. I must say, it's the best sounding exhaust in vtec when running a test pipe.

I run this setup too, I also had the exhaust for 8 months before getting the test pipe. Backfire happens when decellerating when still in gear, and during shifts, it has become one of those noises that I just accept. I agree, one of the best sounding setups available for the car. You guys notice the reduction of the drone with the test pipe? It's great!
Although the car is backfiring all the time. It's time to get an EMS , i think
