The performance gains of a test pipe over a good high-flow cat are negligible.

Not true, testpipes flow 40% better than high flow cats. Which = less resistance, ie more hp

I have a berk test pipe and its awesome. Sounds better, better MPG too (slightly), and better reponse and power. Make sure it matches up properly though.

That just looks like a resonated testpipe for way too much money...

The best high-flow cat available to my knowledge is the Berk's HF cat.
