A test pipe is a test pipe.

That's 90% your problem right there. Spend the few bucks and replace that donut gasket whenever switching exhaust. I agree with everyone else, a test pipe is a test pipe.

Let me rephrase what I said;
You're not doing yourself any favors by re-using that gasket, and could be the source of your issues.

I've got one of these(resonated test pipe) coming in soon: https://www.rhdjapan.com/toda-racing...r-ap1-ap2.html I'm going to compare it to the EVS 63mm HFC and MUGEN exhaust.
