Thanks for the answers all I think I'm getting an Invidia 70mm TP to match up to my SKunk2 dual!

I need silencers The exhaust noise is too much. I don't understand how ol'farts can deal with this noise better than a young fella like me :S Lol! No offense you oldies!

I only ever smell anything when i first start the car up in a confined space - as soon as you're moving or in the big outdoors i doubt you could smell it. Plus i quite like the smell - kinda like cookies baked on an open fire that someone used a lot of petrol to start.
It also 'moves' the sound backwards through the car a little, so it's quieter in the cabin, and noisier out the back. I have a HKS, so no real drone in the first place, but definitely none now.

Is there a test pipe that has a CEL fix included or integrated onto the test pipe? If I wanted to get a TP that would give me the least headache in regards to throwing CEL's, which one would I go for? I have a stock exhaust.

The Berk test pipe has the cel fix attached to it. Can also just buy a fouler for like 10 bucks if you wanted to go with a different test pipe.

To another question, The smell is really not that bad. Some people get bothered by it, but personally I kinda like it and it does not bother me in any way. When moving I don't smell it, but when at a stop with the top down you can definitely smell plenty of fume smell. Top up I can smell it a little when at a stop but not too much.
