Test pipes are illegal. They also sound like sh*t. Get high flow cats instead.

+1 Your car will also stink :eek:

Not worth the extra couple of HP. A full CAT-back and high flow CATs will get you better gains.

Having cats to provide a little backpressure will ensure your low end torque is still strong too.

For street use a sport cat would be better but whether they are illegal or not I am not sure. You just technically will fail an inspection if your area looks at anything other than lights and windows, but not sure if I a cop can ticket you on the spot.

Also isn't the ECU throwing a code for having a test pipe?
