thats why you keep the stock cat. and it'll sound good.
thats what comes with the "5 - 10 hp gain!" of a test pipe.
IMO: test pipe = waste of money.

I doubt people are picking up 5-10 hp with testpipes..
To tone the sound down a little you might need to get a resonator or re-install your catalytic converter.

lmao. Thats what happens when you install a test pipe! Take the test pipe off and put the cat back on. Then, sell the test pipe to someone and tell them it was shown to add 15 whp on a ford mustang, so it will be even better in a civic!
