Yes... a test pipe will increase your HP but it will decrease your milieage per gallons, and will mess up with your car's emissions.
Want an advice? Stay away from test pipes... they are crap!!! For about 60 bucks you could get a flowmaster high flow cat.... and that will increase horsepower, keep your emissions and gas mileage under control!!!
Get a header.... ....that can cost around 100 to 200 depending on what brand you go with!!

1st of all spark plugs dont give you hp. 2nd, get a test pipe, emissions arent an issue. A volcanic eruption does more damage to the ozone than automobiles have since they came to exist.

Save the planet.... a volcanic eruption is a natural thing... car emissions are supposed to be kept at minimum!!!

BTW... honda tech members, please don't buy KFC's.... and please... take a few minutes to watch something that can change your point of view and the life of many animals in this world.... visit http://www.peta.org ,i know this is not related to the topic... but since ya'll my second family, just wanted to share some TRUTH here!!!

dude, what you just said is plain wrong.

if aids kill more human than sars(which is true) then according to your statement we could care less, right?

how much did we spent in sars research/cure? 7billions

what you said is irrelevant. its not that a car is less harmful, its that it is on a much smaller scale.

As far as aids, people need to be more responsible and aids would cease to exist.

I'm not a huge fan of test pipes. I don't like the smell they let your car put out.
This is off topic too but:

With $500: you can buy a used dry kit for $250, install it yourself for free (very easy), and get 6-7 bottle fills

1st- if not for the ozone,what aboutcha' OWN health? do you realize how much debris you breathe in EACH time you're inside your car? there was a report on that. you breathing in so many particles along with shreds of the brake pads in the air.

2nd-isnt boosting an automatic bad for its motor? i did read on HT that auto's dont like boost much. not saying 100%,just tryna' put up what i READ.

what?!... you calling me a "f***** hippie"????
First of all, I am not a hippie.
Second, there's no need for a test pipe. These are crap made by idiots that ignorants buy.
The globe is warmer and warmer everyday, why would you want to contribute to that and why would you recommend people to do that?!
Third, only little COWARDS come up with the excuse of.. "if that car does this.. why can't my car do that...". That excuse is weak.

Now, you don't reffer to me as a "f* hippie" again, because I am not calling you names here ok?!
You need to chill a little more and earn some respect, if someone says that to me in person.... would get kicked in the *** with no problem!
Watch out you ignorant!!!


BTW... expletive test pipes.....

All I gotta say about global warming is that the Earth goes through Natural Temperature cycles. Since the earth is billions of years old and we have only been recording the temperature history of the atmosphere for the last 100 years maybe?
So it would be rediculous to say that global warming is a fact! It's only a theory at the moment and a crackpot theory at best.
Hell, in the late 1880s it got so frickin hot in parts of the Midwest of the U.S. that dry fields would just catch on fire. As far as I know, the planet is doing great. Sure it might get warmer in some parts of the world, but keep in mind it's also getting colder in other parts.
Besides this is a Honda Forum, Keep Politics and Enviromental issues out of it....CAUSE WE ALL DRIVE HONDAS!

...doing great?! Where you at?! ...looks like you don't live in the same planet as the rest of us.

I just got one more thing to say: test pipes are gay!
