Racing Straight Pipe

two questions about a racing straight pipe
1) Is it worth it?
2) Does it really add 9-16 hp?

if u really want a nice gain.........buy a WSP Y pipe or cattman if you think its better (which its not)......that will give u a gain of around 15 HP..........a cai will add another 12

Straight pipe aka test pipe just replaces the cat. convertor. I don't know about 16hp gain. 5hp is more realistic.

and NO!!! test pipe will not add 9-16 horse, get a hiflow cat, like 40 bucks more from warpspeed or just gut yours if thats really what you want to do. epa though, they are watching you.

1999 Cail-spec and 2001+ do not have an O2 sensor on/after the cat. No check engine light with a straight pipe on my car. The one above is not off ebay. Mine is made out of stainless steel with aluminzed flange.

I bouth the racing straight pipe of e-bay and was very happy with it. I totally eliminates the cat. And it is very inexpensive. Go for it. Nice sound also. Kinda a hollow sound.

So does it mean a test pipe like yours won't fit/work on Maximas with the 02 sensor?
