Default Test Pipe


I heard you lose a lot of torque for a slight horsepower gain.

Also, I think it is illegal in some places, like chicago.

So is spending extra money for a test pipe really worth the money? (even though its just like 80 dollars, but still)

If you use a tuning device in conjunction with the TP you should be able to make power and tq (somewhat dependant on the tuner though).

Is it worth it is up to you (as long as being illegal and the smell doesnt bother you).

isnt not having a catconverter illegal EVERYWHERE? only certain states do emissions checks tho? I know in SC theres no inspections or emissions but you can get in trouble for not having a cat if a cop happens to check

my car sounds exactly the same with my berk test pipe. no check engine light either. I gained 8whp and 6 pounds of torque average on back to back dynos. and I actually like the smell even though its nowhere near as strong as people say it is. no problems here in florida.
