A test pipe that fits or Stock cat as test pipe?
Does anyone know what is the length of a test pipe have to be for a 5.5? IS there any place online I can get it? Or if you got it custom made, how much was the total cost?
I remember that a while back I read somewhere you can use the stock cat as a test pipe by knocking everything out of the cat. Does this work or does it cause problems?
I see some test pipes on Ebay but I believe these do not fit. Please correct me if I'm wrong. I see lengths of 12.5", 13.5", and 14.5". Are any of these the right one?

Pull the cat and take it to an exhaust shop. It comes out very easy. Have them make one with that as a guide. All it is is a straight pipe with two flanges on it. It's an easy job for a good shop and they wont be breaking any laws by removing a cat.
If you hollow out the stock cat it sounds really funny because of the way it increases in diameter.

Really don't want to bump this but it's pointless starting a new thread...
anyways, will the s13 240sx test pipe fit? This looks like the flanges are shifted a bit. Is it the same on the Maxima?

you could just have an exhaust shop take a piece of 3'' pipe and weld flanges on it for you if you cant find one.

I have a 3" exhaust so it would be complementary instead of a 2.5"

I finally got my 4th gen cat next to a 240 cat. They look identical. Same flange angles and both cats are the same length.
The 240 cat is still connected to the rest of the exhaust in these pictures.
