im a little dazed i was wondering how does the test pipe work where does it go and things like that pictures would br grate... thanx

 

Search is your friend. Use it, learn it, love it.

But to give a short answer, the test pipe replaces the spot where your catalytic converter is, freeing up the exhaust flow.

 

thanx a lot for the info i yped in megan test pipe in the search but i found no pics but thanx anyway
i was also wondering if i get a reflash would that make my car go lean just like with a race header or no????? and one more thing what does it mean to go lean i hear it all the time and i feel like an *** for not knowing

when more air is taken in than fuel. but your fine though...stock ecu recalibrates itself.

You'll be fine, the reflash does not effect that. It adjusts things like cam angle, rev limiter, vtec points, not the a/f ratios.

 

You will need a o2 simulator to eliminate a check engine light on a car with not cat. The test pipe bols in in place of the stock cat, increasing exhaust flow.

But I forewarn you, your car will sound like **** afterwards. Alot more rasp, and alot more noise.

Here is an o2 simulator for a Subaru, to give you an idea of what I am talking about.


One end of the connector plugs into the cars harness, and the other plugs into the sensor itself

 

u will probably run lean with a #4 reflash. There are cases of people running lean with an exhaust and a CAI. It won't be too lean. The test pipe replaces the cat, and you are going to need to run some sort of o2 simulator

that is a great article on how to trick your ECU into thinking the second o2 sensor is working properly. Works like a charm!

 

Sup Bro i have one on my car i really like it but something broke inside the test pipe and it's making a rattling noise and other than that it's pretty good for the price. I been trying to find out where i could get the o2 simulator no luck yet you will need it

i dont know if i would get a megan i picked one up from a buddy of mine for ten bucks and it had something rattling in it so he took it off his car and i finally got a huge chunk of carbon/resonator out of it........... i say save up the money and pick up a jackson racing header and test pipe...........

 

thanks a lot for all the input thats everything there is to know about the test pipe they should save threads like these for leater refrence.. peace
