Default RSX-S Borla/Test Pipe Pictorial..............

Today afterwork, I helped out a fellow H-T member (P220). He bought the Borla cat-back with the a "Unforgettable Test Pipe" based in Coral Gables, FL. Overall, the install seem fairly okay. Below are some pics......enjoy











Somewhat 50 state legal striaght pipe (inside joke, ask P220). Really nice piece.





The actual muffler section took a bit of small modification but the result looks great.





SIDE VIEW







According to P220, there was small noticeable difference (the A$$ dyno) but yet not to loud nor farty sound either. Overall, he's pleased.

Any other question about this car, PLEASE IM P220

-Bert

speaking of the check engine light does anybody know if cybernation is running straight pipes with their turbo set ups? if they are, is it their ""black box" piggy back that takes care of the ck engine light? any feed back would be appreciated thanks.

The stock exhaust piping looks damn good - is that even worth replacing?

I think they're just hanging the secondary HO2 sensor outside the pipe. It only needs to see fresh air. This will work for any set-up that utilizes OBD-II. Sensor simulators might set a DTC for a secondary HO2S. They send a signal that fluxes from .05V to .95V when all that sensor sould send is about .45V . Just a thought.
