Testpipe DOES gain power, there is no question about it -- I have dyno charts as well as many other people to prove this. To say it doesn't gain power is ignorant.
Just curious, can you post a link? TIA

I'm not specifically against them, I just don't think they're worth the hassle with regular emissions testing here locally.

Every test pipe sold will contribute something even if it's only a drop in the bucket. Great spring like weather every winter will only happen if every one actually contributes something no matter how small. A small step for sure even if only symbolic but we have to begin somewhere.
I'm getting one the next paycheck.

I have the Invidia test pipe and exhaust. I can only tell by the butt dyno and that it does pull extremely better than stock, and the sound is very extremely better as well!

Here is the dyno all the treehuggers hate because it actually shows significant gains with the testpipe. The only difference between the stock car (red) and the modified car (blue) is the testpipe. All other mods were the same.

There was no VAFC tuning that day so ignore that comment at the top of the graph. I was going to tune but decided not to and sold the unit.

The days were different but I can't image that would cause +14 something HP. The conditons were worse on the day that the car pulled 214HP then on the day the stock car pulled 198HP.

It actually gets quieter with a testpipe until you go WOT
