Default Test Pipe Vs. Hi-Flow Cat

I know that this has been asked a **** load of time, I'm just wondering, would it be more sensible to get the carsound hi-flow for 100.00 or a Omnipower Test Pipe for 99 plus shipping and will the sound change dramitically with the test pipe. Thats what I really want and just want to know if I should avoid both and look into other brands. Or just drive it off a cliff. lol

I just really need you guys suggestions, like always.

Unfortunately for our motors, just having a test pipe without a large restriction in the exhaust system will make it sounds quite unpleasant. You'll get that classic "ricer buzz" sound, especially on top end.

Unless you have several large resonators in there, or even a turbo, I would go with a high-flow cat, instead of a test pipe. $100 for the high-flow sounds very good.

I used to have a test pipe, it'll sound like *** without a resonator,
so its like 99 bux for a test pipe, then another 100 bux or so for a resonator.

i bought a new magnaflow 2.5 inch hiflow cat then have a 3inch exhaust and it sounds way better
