I have the Berk TP with the built in CEL fix and an Invidia dual, and i bought it for the same reason, Arkansas has no smog laws, or state inspection. The car definetly got louder(if you can believe that coming from an Invidia owner) but all the noise moved from inside the cabin, to behind the car.

Well for me the TP made driving at below 4krpms much quieter and driving in noticabley meaner sounding best of both worlds IMO also it got rid of the Drone I was getting between 3&4K

Yes the megapower exhaust is a 70mm exhaust that splits into 2 60mm pipes, so a 70mm test pipe is needed.

The name confused me for the longest. It's basically a hollow pipe that replaces the catalytic converter, correct?

Why does it have the name "test pipe"? Is it used for testing the engine for emissions or something?

I always wondered how the 70mm mates up to the header??

Isn't the piping on that 60mm?
