test pipe will trow an o2 sensor code, are you sure you wonna deal with it, gains are minimal to non. If you you can try ebay, or your local mufler shop. After all it's just a piece of pipe with some flanges on the end.

a f'n j

smsp would hook you up with one I bet

ehhh im not to worried about throwing a code im already throwing a IAT code.

I have a T1R test pipe from A&J Racing:

http://www.aj-racing.com/

It's full stainless, very nice welds, has some insulation to help with the sound (a bit). And is relatively cheap for the quality you get. I got it to fit a 2.5" header outlet but I think they have different models for different applications, some with an O2 sensor bung.

i went to the site but no prices or specs on it.

I bought a regular cat pipe with a clogged cat from the junk yard for $40 and just gutted it. Its not really a true test pipe but atleast it fools the cops.

Retard. You did nothing but created more turbulance in the cat.

mustninty

how do you figure? you have a cat full of filters, you knock it all out until you can see right through it perfectly.Now the exhaust flows a little better.

JimmyAtlantis

It designed with the filters in mind to flow a particular way. They didn't design converters to flow better when you take the honeycomb out of them. Test pipes are designed differently from a gutted cat.

mustninty

Dont get me wrong a test pipe will flow a lot better then a gutted cat. but for a poor man test pipe I'm saying that gutted cats are the way to go.

I once removed my cat and welded in a same diameter pipe instead.

it was awfull. the cars didnt throw any cel's.
but it had a poor idle. rpm's wasnt stable.

but it sounded nice
