Default Intake and test pipe

I am looking into putting a test pipe on my car. It would be a 2.5 inches in diameter...i just want to know if it makes a noticable difference in anything besides the noise of the car. Also i want to know if the password JDM powerchamber intake is worth the money. I have heard it give good HP gains in the mid range which is where i drive alot because my car is a DD. Any input on these parts? would they be worth the time and money?
Thanks

since your car is a DD, do NOT get the test pipe, get a highflow if anything. You will not get midrange, if anything a tiny bid up around 7k rpms.

Intake = ebay

Dont do it, its pointless, makes your car loud and annoying, and irritating to drive. Unless your car is boosted or have a very good catback system, it serves almost no purpose. Just keep the CAT in for the environments sake.

its probably one of the worst mods out there unless your boosing IMO. The sound was unreal, even if it wasnt a DD. It just sounds soo bad. Makes you think something is seriously wrong with your engine with it on. ANything above 4k rpms sounds like a rhino fart in your ear
