Default Megan Test Pipe

So next weekend I will be installing an Injen CAI, and a P.I.T. shorty header on to my 03 RSX-S. Would it be a worthwhile option to purchase and install the megan test pipe as well?

Also, if these are to be installed, would I be correct in assuming that motor mount inserts are a must?

With test tipe you gaim more than a header, but I recommend Race header for better hp

Yeah, but I got the header for free, and it's brand new. I figured I might as well use it for the time being.

with a raceheader in idle its only a slight difference
WOT you'll definitely hear the difference
short+testpipe i would guess be somewhere in between stock and a raceheader

with a testpipe on and WOT your car will sound like a bag of pissed off bumble bee's inside of a coffee can or a go kart on steriods.

God, here we go again with this. Soon itll be jsut straight pipe it motor back or some bs.

Well in this situation id go with the test pipe, or just save my cashola for a race header and sell the shorty header, considering you got it for free and you said it was brand new im sure you can get some amount of money out of it. Either way youd be making money off of it which would go towards a BCRH.
