1) Can't
2) Yes
3) From me, $15 plus shippng, no o2 bung on this one
4) resonator would keep it quiet, the test pipe alone will not add much noise, if you have a y pipe or exhaust with it it will be a bit louder

3-5 hp maybe, but the most noticeable gain is a nasty smell and skrewed Ozone.

I think as long as your car is running well you shouldn't notice much of a difference in smell.

The smell can irritate your eyes. I don't like the smell.

it smells GOOD! but the gains in the upper RPM range greatly outways any kinds of smells it gives out... but really you're not gonna notice much in smell...

i really don't have any beef w/ warpspeed... i actually have their y-pipe, had their test pipe, and b-pipe... this was b/f budget was around, or around to my knowledge... all are good... but my friend's budget pipes are as good or maybe even better than warpspeed and so w/ that and the price difference in the 2, i'd go w/ budget all the way! it's an incredible product...
