A test pipe is a test pipe. There really is no huge difference aside from the CEL fixes/defoulers and/or brackets to use the cat heat shields (ie. T1R).

You can go JDM and buy a $500 test pipe made in Japan too

Like beanolo said, a TP is a TP.

Just your typical markup for having a "JDM" piece, I've run the T1R/Berk/Spoon test pipes and have not noticed any difference on quality (well the T1R bracket for the heatshields broke for me) but nothing else. It's just a plain ol straight pipe. You should be fine with that, don't waste your money, even though many ppl will tell you the TP is a waste of money to begin with.

I've actually found the TP to be the best $70 I've spent on any car as far as performance for the $ goes...

I'd have to agree with you.

Im pretty sure the megan's one has a resonator. The BR TP i have is good, and seemed to make a little difference when i was stock. Go for the cheapest, IMO...
