Hey guys, quick question. I have Invidia on my car and I want a test pipe. Which would have the best gains? haha and spare me the "Your gonna be deaf lines" Thanks for all the help.

 

They all gain about the same. Don't get the megan because it will rattle after a bit.


Since you have an invidia, might as well stick with the same company and get their testpipe as well

 

Unless your Cat is clogged, which it may be on an MY01, you won't see much gain <1hp... you could also go with a high flow cat...

 

^i think spec ops proved that <1 hp gain wrong when he dynoed his car after test pipe...lol

 

Threads like this are funny. Sometimes people just don't understand the basics of performance. NA S2000 gains little if nothing with a magic car. If you really must pollute the air buy something turbocharged.

 

Thats funny how you say polluting the air.

We just tested that out this past weekend, ran my car with the stock cat, and then the testpipe installed and the emissions we dead even! I put the cat back on though cause i don't want to get rolled

 

Thanks fellas. I think I will go with the Invidia. Anyone have this setup? is it even worth the extra 100 bucks?

 

I have it and its worth the fun

 

Definitely buy a testpipe, they are a good bang for the buck. I have a Megan which I am happy with, otherwise Berk and a few others make similarly priced ones (sub-$100).

Current Megan's actually are not resonated, and the revised resonated ones will be released in a few weeks.

 

Only under perfect conditions. Just because the readings were similar at idle (or even a moderate load), doesn't mean the cat is never needed. There are plenty of times when the cat is needed, like running cold when the car is running rich. Usually Acceleration and Deceleration show increased emissions. Also, I'd imaging VTEC isn't very good emisions wise either, especially the VTEC boundry where the ECU has to recalibrate for the extra power.

If you run a test pipe you're going to pollute, don't kid yourself. I'm not saying you shouldn't run a test pipe. Just don't delude your self, and everyone else reading this thread, that test pipes don't increase pollution.
