I was looking around ebay to get a test-pipe, and all i could find were test pipes with a 2.25 inlet like this:

Is there anyone that sells a test-pipe with a 2.5 inlet and 2.5 outlet? or is this pretty much how all test pipes are?

 

I have seen 2.5 on both ends.

 

you used to be able to get them from custommaxima.com, but they dont have a site anymore, theres a thread about it, maybe its still a business and the thread says how to order. its worth a try. i have one and it was 2.5/2.5

 

from what i have noticed all the test pipes that are resonated have the inlet at 2.25....maybe the non resonated pipes are the only ones that have 2.5inlets? hmmm

I have tried searching test pipes and i cant seem to find anything...

picked this up....

I guess you just have to look up "high flow cat" to find the test pipes i was lookin for? wtf?

 

Umm, dude, thats not a test pipe.

 

ill sell you a test pipe from Lyell's (Budget) Exhaust, shoot me a PM

 

Well i hope it is...since i didnt think they made a
"high flow cat" that was under 50 bucks shipped...this just looks like a cat, but its just a straight pipe...

 

IVe seen straight pipes in both diameters, no resonators.
The one I sent you pics of was a 2.5, and I have a 2.25 at my house.

 

No O2 bung? Do you just take it to the exhaust shop and get them to weld one on? How much would the usually charge?

 

i know there this place in canada that sells y-pipe and you get a free test pipe, 2.5" on both sides, im trying to call my friend right now, but leave me a PM ill definatley try to get the number, i dont know if they sell the test pipe by itself but im 75% sure

 

www.lssexhaust.com ^^

 

i will sell you guys a budget test pipe.

 

or there, but $80 that sound alot for a test pipe

 

or get it from you

 

I paid 30$ for my test pipe w/ bung. Where do you see 80$ for a test pipe? Call them.

don't know exactly what a test pipe is but..
i bought that one... and i felt some gain in high revs... comes with O2 bung

 

i might of made a mistake but i saw on on the same website for $80 but ill go with what you said, sounds like a great deal

 

It's 25 Canadian.

 

wasn't tryna prove you wrong man you got it, not need for mr. smart guy i just didnt see it, the place i was talking about was also in Canada, who knows might of been the same place, but ill rather go with a resonator, IMO test pipes are a lil too loud

 

first time i saw that one on Ebay.

 

is not expensive, O2 bung, plug and play and you can feel a few results...

 

The 95 and the 96 (i think) didnt have an o2 bung on the cat...please correct me if im wrong....but i think the 97-99 had the extra bung on the cat...i havent been down there too look for a long time...so i might be wrong...maybe the 95 did have a o2? i guess ill find out right now! cause im bout to install the test pipe...btw, the one that i linked on here was resonated...witch is the one i bought...hopefully it will be a little quieter than normal...

 

Im trippin, there is one in the cat.

but i got a greddy SP catback off a 97...so i have a spare plugged o2 sensor bung that im not using...ima just use that one...so yea you have to get an o2 sensor bung welded in...unless ur meee

 

that should work, but yeah 95 and 96 has an O2 in the cat, 97-99 has it right beside the cat. technically you dont have to use it, but your engine light will stay on, ill recommend having your local performance shop custom one in... thats why i hate looking on ebay for hi flow cats, they never have one with the sensor in it

 

But is the wire on your O2 sensor long enough to meet the O2 bung in the B pipe?

 

the wire length should be the same as the 97-99 if im not mistaking

 

I dont think it is.
I have a 96, with a Greddy SP1 that has on O2 Bung in the B section and my O2 sensor wouldnt make it that far, I have it sealed and run the O2 sensor in my straight pipe.

 

Hmm...if this is the case could i just extend the wire? I can solder an lil extension on there...but could this mess up the o2 readings? i dont c how it would...but chime in! hehe

 

Ive heard of guys doing that. I know some buy Bosh O2 sensors and soldered them up to the Maxima's OEM connector.

 

soldering o2 sensor wires are a biiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiyotch

 

why are o2 wires any different than normal wires? hmm... muy interesante....


Well, i took a look and i do believe grand hustle is right, there is more than enough room...only problem was that the o2 sensor on the cat is much smaller than the o2 bung in the b pipe....

is there any kind of adaptor you can buy to solve this problem? Someone mentioned to be earlier that there is..but i have never heard of these...

anyone know?

 

I thought the same thing. the wires are even tough to cut. it's like cutting a metal pipe. and the wires dont twist. solder doesnt stick to them. try it for yourself.

 

well i will....i gota extend the wire a lil bit I THINK...i may have enough clearance as it is...but the reason i question you is simply because they make bosche o2's that you solder onto the OEM harness/wires....like someone mentioned b4 quite a few people on here do this...i think i would have heard them having problems by now...ur the only person to bring this up...but i will find out

 

Did you ever get it on? What did you do about the o2 sensor. I have an SP2 with the B-pipe bung and I am interested in what happens.

 

yes they do i just bought one,,it will fit------http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/95-99-MITSUBISHI-ECLIPSE-NON-TURBO-STRAIGHT-TEST-PIPE_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ33633QQihZ008QQite mZ180126474746QQrdZ1

 

I'm referring to the o2 sensor
