Default B-Pipe from www.testpipe.com. Yes or No?

Ok so check this out:
http://testpipe.com/htmlsite/productdetails.asp?id=82
These B-pipes (mid-pipes) are like $100, mandrel bent, stainless steel, and follows the stock path with a 2.5" pipe.

What do you think? Has anyone used one before, or herd anything about it?

If I were to get one, I would bolt on a Type 1 rear section..

[QUOTE]Am I the only one who can never find a testpipe on Testpipes.com?[QUOTE]
Yea I don't know what the ****, mabey it became illegal for a business to sell them over the internet. Who knows, but so you think this is cool.
I think i will be that annoying guy and email the fools asking if it requeires any mods to install or what ever. I guess to make sure it will bolt up to a rear section.

Anyone herd about any problems with 5 zigen exhausts?

I've never dealt with them personally. I have however, heard multiple stories on HT about not receiving the correct product, and lots of lag time.

Don't do it. I have heard more horror stories than about testpipe.com than about Osaka...

Edit: On that note. Osaka testpipe.com

Have a friend who got a testpipe through them, quality was fine, but we had to file the crap out of the flange bolt holes to get it to line up. You get what you pay for.
