why not? I ran a custom one and a Megan TP. I saw a 3-hp increase with my custom, but my claim is very unscientific though.

Post thoughts here...

I really like my Invidia 70mm the butt dyno says it helped up top more then anything and actually helped kill the drone from my single. Also gives the exhaust in general a more agressive tone

Sugestion:
Maybe we could make this thread to include Hi-flow cats as well

Invidia 70mm test pipe. The Butt dyno shoes great gains in the mid and upper rpm range. A must buy.

I know I have only been asking questions...I will try to stop but at least one more...

Is a test-pipe really going to get you a lot more horsepower over a high flow cat? Or do people mainly use test-pipes for sound?
