Here's a bad picture. I took it with my cell phone, and with a quickness so it's a very bad picture. I'll probably have a video later tonight if it stops raining

Really awesome sound!

Did the test pipes come with the spark plug anti foulers which i see attached to the test pipes in the picture above? What make and model is the testpipe you bought and whom did you buy it from? What exahust system does your car have--Greddy EVO or what?

That's what everyone at school today asked was what exhaust i have. i have the stock exhaust actually. the things attached in the picture above are the CEL fixes. The pipes came with nuts and bolts. I bought the pipes off of ebay, and they're called "top speed performance".. the only thing that happens is at around 3000 rpms i feel my feet vibrating and it gives this horrid sound. If it doesnt go away by tomorrow im gonna have to put it back on a lift and see whats wrong. the installation was simple-just time consuming and gotta have the right tools..thanks for the compliment though!!

Did the CEL fixes come with the test pipe as part of the package? I am amazed at how nice our OEM exhaust sounds with test pipes. How much were the test pipes?

I know, I'm surprised too.... No, they didn't come with the package. But they were only like $10. The test pipes cost me around $110.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors...ZWDVW - these looks like the exact same test pipe as mine. I can definitely tell a difference performance-wise

Did you have to use new bolts? I haven't put mine on yet. They have us working 6 days for back to school and I can't get a chance to put them on.

I don't know if i had to, but I did just because I figured the newer the better. I didn't use the new gaskets because they were crappy paper

You are just like me---very happy with the Stillen exhaust. I bet with test pipes, the Stillen exhaust is even more sweeter. Is there a thing about the G-35 I don't like? Probably not.

I contemplate going with test pipes for the fact that they are a fraction of the cost of HFC's.

The only problem is the emissions inspection...

Has the horrid sound and vibration at 3000 RPM disappeared?

No, today when i got out of class, i decided to check it out. i turned my car on and looked up under and saw that the left pipe was vibrating and must have a screw missing. going over to my brothers here in a sec. to fix it. the side on the right side was perfect... i'll let y'all know if it worked

Test pipes are on aswell. When I had both test pipes on and the exhaust unattached I turned my car on and revved it. The car sounded so Violent. I want to take it to the track open headers. Was kinda awesome.

No doubt, i will be getting test pipes. Even if I do emissions it will be in 2010---lots of time to enjoy the test pipes before going back to the cats.

You are urging me like the devil to do something illegal, what type of friend are you? (j/k) I saw another G around my area and it seemed to have test pipes---the sound was great.
