IMO a test pipe is a test pipe.....nothing insanely different about one over another

no, thats wrong. you want to get the Amuse one, because its $400. but it has an hp gain that is 1 more than the others...so while those test pipes only go to 10...this one goes to 11.

and plus since its obviously the best, its worth it

i just put a j's on - looks sweet, and no CEL warning as it has the o2 locator. Also, it has brackets so you can easily re-attach the catalyst cover so it looks totally stock.
Don't forget to disconnect your battery for 15 minutes or so to reset the ECU.

Right lol. I never really got bothered for not having a cat b4 and this is my third car with no cat. Ive been pulled over countless times and they never said anything (i do make sure to turn off the car as soon as I stop when Im pulled over so they dont smell it) the only thing that happened b4 was the cop said he was going to write me up for an iregular mufler but he never ended up doing so I guess he figured the 300 dollar ticket + lisence suspension was enough (fought that **** with a lawyer and payed only 150 and kept my lisence).

Ive got the one from ScienceofSpeed. Why i went with that one is because its readily available. Comes with hardware and also an extra bung for all of use that a running wide-band 02's. Its got a place for the factory and another for your wide-band. It comes with a plug to plug it if you dont have a wide-band.

Back in my street racing days. I walked all over this 240sx with my teg rs. Anyways I guess there was a cop hidding and saw the whole thing both off us got pulled over. If it wasnt for the 240 i would have been home free cause I took a bunch of sidestreets and the cop couldnt see me anymore but the 240 kept trying to follow me and keep up not knowing there was a cop behind him.

How does this make any sense ??? thats like saying the S will loose power if you put on a tp cause thats what a gutted cat is. So will the S loose power with a tp fucck no. That means it wont loose power with a gutted cat.

Its a real big bitch. its way harder to gut the S2K cat than it is a normal Hoinda cat. If I knew how hard it was going to be I would have just bought a tp.
