will im looking to buy a skunk2 test pipe cuz my CHEAP OBX is jacked up and i dont find one for the DA9 so i was wondering which one would fit on my da9



thanks

 

A test pipe is nothing more than a piece of metal with no engineered design on it....I say just go ebay.

 

How about a catalytic converter?

 

If you want to stay legal I would get a catalytic converter, wheather it's made for your exhaust or not. You can get a universal catalytic converter and have the flanges welded on so that you can remove it whenever you please.

Same goes for a test pipe, but most shops will not make a test pipe for an automobile because it's illegal.

 

yea not looking to stay legal thats why i want a test pipe does any one know if the password jdm test pipe any good

 

Like they said bud a test pipe is a test pipe. As long as the diameter is the same as your exhauxts you can go as cheap as you would care too. Why spend extra money for the same thing? Hell you could even buy a piece of (I'm assuming 2.5" if you have an aftermarket setup) pipe, and your flanges and weld it all together. Oh and an o2 bung, but for that matter just buy an e-bay for $25 and call it a day!!!

 

 

Wait a second. The reason why you want a testpipe is because you don't want to stay legal? And to answer your question the PasswordJDM 2.5 testpipe would work, but you can probably find a cheaper one on Ebay.

 

will my exhaust is not loud i could get away with using a test pipe (my exhaust is a RSR ex mag)

 

You answered your own question,
A test pipe made by skunk 2 with fitment for the da

 

Test pipes are lame. If you're on the street just get a high flow cat. They are really cheap and flow just as well as a test pipe, without all the NOx. Don't make children breathe your exhaust fumes just because you want 0.5 extra hp. Please don't make this worse:

 

skunk 2 dont make one for the DA if they do its not on there site???if you know where send me a link

 

is that the smug covering California???

use an Omnipower adjustable test pipe.

 

and not to be a aZZ but the earth is not going to clear up any time soon

 

^ yeah, but you shouldn't contribute to it though...get a high flow cat. It might even help you. That pic looks like LA, or even fresno CA.

 

Yeah, that's LA. It's not just NOx but a mix of NOx and ozone, which of course is formed by reacting with NOx molecules.

That may or may not be true, but it's a moot point because it doesn't mean it's OK for all of us to do whatever we want regardless of the consequences. Besides, if everybody had that attitude you'd *really* see the power of indifference. A high flow cat is only $40 or $50 more than a test pipe, has the same affect on power output, and dramatically reduces the polluting effect of driving a car, so why not do the right thing? You've got a choice.

 

my car it not even making a dent to the ozone so go preach to trunk drives and power plans and thanks for every one trying to help me. ganartheunruly what car you drive just want to know if your mr nature

 

ouch, he's got you there. I drive a ULEV....hehehe...

 

Well, not exactly. Neither of my cars is an LEV (96 GS-R and 99 CR-V), but both make somewhere between 0.4 and 0.1 g/mi NOx, which is an order of magnitude less than they would make without cats. I did some math and found out that if roughly a quarter of a thousandth of a percent of the people in the US drove without cats, they would produce as much NOx emissions every year as every power plant in the country combined, so it doesn't take much. FWIW I'm 95% sure our next car will be a Prius and then we'll have the perfect stable, but we can't afford to buy one now as we're both grad students.

For the record, my primary mode of around town transportation is my bicycle (1000-2000 mi/yr). I definitely drive around town when I'm shopping, and my cars pick up some serious mileage in the summer, when my wife and I drive the CR-V to get up rough forest service roads to her research sites in the mountains. I'm not perfect, but I try to do what I can to minimize my impact on this and other environmental issues and still enjoy my hobbies.

None of this has anything to do with the OP's original question, but he/she did ask, so I'm replying to that.

 

lol man all my saying is why you got to come here start preaching to me about things that has nothing to do with what im asking i wanted to know what skunk 2 test pipe would fit my DA NOT how test pipes damage the world its cool that you care but im sure ppl that drive turbo civic and sti and s2000 ect. does 10x more ozone damage then a test pipe would do

 

LOL if they are running hi-flow cats, no. STI's have them, and so does the s2000.(cats)

 

lol have you ever driven in back of a worked turbo car all you see it black smoke out there muffler when they get on it

 

if u worry about smug then go buy a hybrid.yeah the skunk2 test pipe will fit.

 

 

THANKS!
