due testpipes make a difference on a 02 35 maxima? and if so which ones fit like the stock cat. i have cattman ypipe stock cat amd megan racing 2.5 catback

 

They can help if yours is clogged.

Get a 3" resonated 240sx test pipe off eBay.

 

He has pretty much 2.5 everything else...why not a 2.5" testpipe?

 

I agree with Jeff. But I'm one to speak since i have a 3" catback and a 2.5" testpipe. But the 2.5" testpipe did net me more hp than a 2.75" HFC.

I saw a fair gain with mine, but I have quite a few mods to support it.

240SX units seem to fit, Budget exhaust test pipes also do.

When searching for a unit, make sure the flanges are either adjustable, or are specific to the 240sx/Maxima, and the unit itself is 12" long.

The Megan is too long, so steer clear from that one.

 

The 3" test pipe is a direct fit and cheap.

Pick your poison.

 

Thank you sir ... I always do that to you... being lazy FTL

 

You really do ya ****

Now, you and the OP buy now

 

Thought about getting a test pipe with my Megan exhaust, but worried about how it might sound. -___-

 

yes.

 

The 2nd one with free shipping...

 

You think rasp is bad with a HFC? try the test pipe

 

First one because it's resonated

 

+1 I have the 3" none resonated 240sx test pipe. I get rasp in the 2.5-3.5k range at WOT. It really isn't that bad, it's just loud because everything from the headers back is open.

 

There is no rasp with a VQ35, HFC, 3" exhaust.

 

So the 240sx testpipes are 100% fully bolt on, and they're 3"!!?? SCORE!!! Stupid Megan was too long, when i bought it for my 5.5 and i had to have it shortened. -_- which in total cost me about $100 and change, part and labor.

 

OWNED...and is this Action posting? lol

 

That's what happens when you don't post on the forum to find out if $h!t works or not. Wtf is Action posting??

 

Aackshun ****!

joo know wut i meeen!

 

no, this is not aackshun posting.. He is sitting 2 chairs next to me tho. Opp, sorry for thread highjack.

 

That's because the headers + 3" is so damn loud you can't hear the rasp...

 

It's quieter with a test pipe. truestory

 

That's like going from full volume to 98% of max.

 

Quoted for the damn truth!

 

thinks for the help. i got one from custommaxima they said its a direct fit we will see. if not ill get one of the ones posted on the link.

 

Mine will be going up FS soon. 2.5" though.

 

Is it a test pipe or an HFC?

 

Test pipe

 

Damn, I need something to replace the stock cat to go in between my cattman y and eBay crap back. I just think a test pipe is gonna be too loud for daily driving. Besides the cattman, what other 2.5" HFC's are ppl running?

 

Maurice, did you get the test pipe. If so which size 3 or 2.5 inch. Im in the need for a resonated one. Just got my new exhaust on last week..stock manifolds, gutted cats, test pipe, 15 inch res to super 40 flowmaster. The piping is 2.5 inch and the sound is nice but just a little high in the Db area. Not to bad but want to bring it down just a hair. I had the cat converter in place of the test pipe and way to quiet. So im trying to see if removing the test pipe and adding a resonated one will help out but adding a 3inch resonated to to a 2.5 inch exhaust...? not sure how that would work. Do you guys think adding the 3inch resonated to a 2.5 inch exhaust would make any difference in any way ..reducing or increasing volume?

 

FWIW, the cattman (fastcat) is 2.75".

But, there are the regulars, magnaflow, and a few others and of course the are the universals.


I used this, although it's not a cat, it worked really well for sound/rasp control.

not yet

 

Hey, would this test pipe work on a Cali spec VQ30? Won't the output of the 3" affect flow into the stock B-pipe, like unevenness? I am trying to replace my cat and i have ordered my warpspeed Y Thanks

 

Can I bug ya for a sound clip with it on?

 

take the stock one off n gut it lol... to be honest, most of the power gains would be if you change from Y-pipe to headers... you have all exhaust replacements n somehow you kept every single OEM catalytic converter in the process lol... gutting those 3 cats will probably net you more gains than all those performance parts combined

 

The only sound clips I have are with the old set-up which was with headers, test pipe, 22" resonator, that thing, and a stock muffler.

 

post that
