how about dyno your car as is, buy your test pipe and header then dyno it again and post the results

i personally have a 3" test pipe and 3"cat back and i love the tone of the exhaust

For maximum annoyance the formula would be headers+test pipe+catbat exhaust= Police once a week.

Well I got the test pipe in, and it sounds the same as the high flow cat did, given I haven't gone for a proper drive, on idle it seems the same. Throttle response is abit different though.

Haha. Seriously though why would you buy a test pipe when you already have a "HIGH FLOW" cat? Makes no sense to me.
