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?

We don't have emissions testing where I live, so that helps

I have a Berk TP no cel problem because of the fix ran it with my Dual HKS exhaust now with my Single HKS exhaust

But it is 63mm so a tad smaller than my 75mm exhaust

Is this a problem will I get a better response if I got a bigger TP or should I keep what I have?????

Yes you want to match your test pipe up to your exhaust!

I have a Berk and threw a code. Put the anit foulers in and not a problem since. My opinion, just buy whichever one is cheapest as it's just a pipe and I thought the built in cel fix for the berk would work, didn't work for me or my friend

I have had my Berk test pipe for a year with no CEL..

I've never had a CEL for the life of my car and it's at 54,700 miles now..

Just make sure you reset the ecu before you start the car after you install it..

Just for reference the Berk Test Pipes comes in 63.5mm (2.5 inches) and 70mm (2.75 inches) I have the 63.5mm with my stock exhaust and love it.. Sound and performance wise..

I figured as much but I was reading some where an they said if you have a set up like this with a NA car and do a 3 inch exhaust with a 3 inch test pipe it may negatively impact pressure and performance for an NA engine is this true???

^^ I'm not sure but that's what I always heard as well since years ago "3 inch was too big for N/A applications"

I know corvettes (c6 zo6) runs a full 3 inch exhaust.. But that's a whole nother ball park.. But I'm just trying to say that 3 inch might be better for some N/A cars and not others..

But I've personally read on this forum that 3 inch is the way to go FI OR N/A with our cars because the motor flows so well.. Now I'm not sure how true that is.. But I personally wouldn't go bigger than 70mm (2.75 inch) depending on your set up..
