quietest resonated 3" test pipe
I'm loving the extra power of a test pipe but I'm over the extra noise. I've heard that Megan makes a good 3" resonated TP. Any other manufacturers? I'm looking for the quietest so, I would assume, the TP with the largest diameter.

What cat back are you running? This is what I have on the Evo 9:

This testpipe is a resonator pipe as well, it acts as a low restrictred tubular muffle kind of like the cherry bombs/bazookas that you get in pep boys or Autozone but 100000000 times much better finished.

Your exhaust is going to make more of a difference than a resonated test pipe. Yeah a resonator will help but the change in volume may be very small. I went through this with an HKS Hi-Power and couldn't stand the thing after a week.

If you want to talk about mufflers and stuff, that will make a difference sound.
A test pipe is really just a pipe with a perforated straight through design.
The rear section makes more of a difference.

if its the cat-back that drives the sound then howcome when i put a tp w the invidia cat-back the sound was way 2 loud inside the car even on idle. I got rid of the tp then got a 3'' dp and a 3'' hfc same cat-back and now the sound is not loud at all. Can any1 shine some light on this because now i want louder but not like before =)

If you threw 3 different types of resonated test pipes on there, I doubt you would find a measurable difference between them.
The situation you described is not really a "controlled" example/test as you changed out a bunch of things and found a difference in sound.
My friend just got a Tanabe Medallion Touring and the thing is silent.
