Default Source for Test Pipe?

I'm thinking about pulling the cat this winter and need a test pipe. I searched around but couldn't find a vendor. Anyone have a source or know someone that wants to sell one?

In my previous life the RX-7 would run lean with a test pipe, does the S2000 compensate for the freer flowing exhaust or will it run lean too?

Thanks for the help,

Rob

it'll be fine with the test pipe. steve @ evolution is located in VA and he's a good vendor and sells the invidia one. but should be able to find a used one locally

I'll sell you my Invidia as soon as I find a resonated one. I've used mine for less than 1000 miles

The only downside to a testpipe is the horrid smell while running or in the garage, and the CEL that will arise after driving w/o a Cat. You can make O2 simulator or easily buy one to fix it though

the Berk has a built in 02 sim fix... I have the 1st generation TP with the angled 02 extension (apparently the newer, perpendicular 02 extension gets more consistent voltage) and I have yet to get a CEL *knocks on wood*

I have my cat installed now since the season is over with though.
