Questions most people might have.

which one comes with the flange for the cat converter cover?

What does each cost?

thanks guys, I've been meaning to make or buy one.

T1R is the one that the stock cat heatshield can mount to.

With shipping, I think I paid around 140 for my T1R

I have a berk, works great. Don't like the smell, but I'll deal with it.

The one that comes with more stickers will give you the most HP!
How are all of you getting past inspections with a TP? Do you just throw on the cat to get it inspected, then put the TP back on again?

It does make my invidia more of a raspy tone in the lower RPMs. I don't mind though because at WOT in vtec the sound is straight from a race car.

Well the stock pipe is a cat so can't really talk about the sizing. I just know the testpipe is 60mm (2.5"). As far as the stock piping for the exhaust...not really sure eithor. Once again I am only sure on my invidia which is also 60mm (2.5")

Mr. Benjimen has a very powerful influence on inspection station people

because...


all any of the test pipes are is PIECES OF PIPE
uhm... NOT. so many of the test pipes out there now are pieces of shit. look through them, especially the resonated ones. multiple welds in the middle of the pipe section, rough edges at the resonator, in the middle of the pipe. horrible not straight setups, with bends and overlays. this stuff creates all kinds of neat backpressure and turbulence. a nice cat delete, should be straight as an arrow, and the welds tig'd on the INSIDE at each end, and if rough, polished to that no rough edges exist. now your talkin HP gain. i have a J's racing delete, and it ported the ends of it till it was mirror smooth. even as nice work as J;s does, the ends of the pipe jutted out, and would have caused backpressure. so i layed em in. its alot of work, but worth it. stuff like this on every install, will make your car haul, and people wont know why.... get what im sayin yet. lates dave

berk test pipe here for 8,000 miles. No CEL. made the invidia exhaust unbearable on top of what the invidia already was......loud! I dealt with it b/c I didn't wanna give up my 2 extra hp and my hard earned 100 bucks.
