From trial and error, what brand of test pipe have you gone with and had least problems. They should all be basically the same thing, but I don't want any fitment issues. X-Tune sells a cheap pipe on ebay for around $40. Suggestions, comments...

 

Test pipes give a raspy sound. Id go with a high flow cat but check here

Test pipe is a test pipe is a test pipe. High flow cat is the way to go.

 

Best test pipe has a bung in it so you can tune...

 

Damn, conflicting information. The two other boards I read showed gains in the 2-5hp range for test pipe over high flow. Honestly, for what I'm running (basically stock), I might as well not waste the money on either one at this point. Going with the budget Y-pipe first.

 

Leave the stock piece in there unless it's dead.

I'd get test pipe only to have it bunged and slap a wb in there, then strap the car on a dyno, other than that, useless.

 

Now you've really confused him...

I'd get a y before a t for more hp

 

yeah, sounds like it would be best left alone at this point.

 

I think I confused myself

 

Go to www.customenterprise.com They have a resinator that will give you a nice low tone.

 

I wouldnt pay 100$ for a 'nice low tone'

 

If you are looking for hp, a test pipe is absolutely the wrong place to look. A Y pipe is absolutely the RIGHT place to look. All intake/exhaust mods after that feature less hp gains if any.

 

The gains from a test pipe do not justify running one. It's not even worth the time it takes to put on.

 

or the time to take it off once you figure out it sucks.

 

And thus, a conclusion has been drawn. Ixnay on the test pipe. Thanks guys.
