Yea pretty much what it says. whats the difference in power. Is there any?
Thanks for the info.
sry if repost (prabably is, i tried searching)

 

your resonator acts kind of like a secondary muffler to make the exhaust quieter, it has nothing to do with your cat or test pipe. i woulnd't suggest cutting it off either.

 

ok maybe i listed the question wrong... Im looking to purchase a test pipe, but i notice that there are resonated test pipes (the ones with the little bubble looking thing on them) and then there are the straight pipe test pipes. is there any difference in power between the to?

 

oh ok, you're talking about high flow catalytic converters vs test pipes (straight pipes). the difference in power is negligible, about 1 hp. a high flow cat is going to cost more and smell better, where as a test pipe will flow better, cost less, and smell worse. either way you really cant go wrong. i'm still debating which one to buy actually. good luck with your choice.

btw - you'll want to search CEL's and fixes.

 

Yeah i got the info down for the CEL Fix... ive been lookin to buy one of these for a long time now so i no pretty much everything there is to know. except what the difference is between the to. but it looks like a got my answer. Appreciate your input!

 

I purchased a high flow cat last week. I am still waiting for it in the mail. The descriptions say it's a straight through design. And I asked the seller if there is a honey comb inside, he replied, it's hollow inside. I am anxious to find out how it sounds. Remember, if there is no honey comb inside, it's basically a test pipe in disguise as a catalytic converter

It'll get you out of trouble if a cop happens check for a catalytic converter!!!

resonated test pipes do a good job of taking raspiness out of honda's

 

well i went with the non resonated. we will see how it is in short time.

 

Jman, there are test pipes with small resonators on them, and they are not high flow cats.


i didn't notice any difference between my resonated TP and my straight TP at all. no difference in sound, power, or response.

 

with my exhaust it had this little buzz when vtec hit with a non resonated test pipe , it sounded good other wise , i just didnt like the little buzz so i got a resonated one...no more buzz
