Does anyone have faith that a good muffler shop can create a straight pipe for me with the same quality as a T1R?

 

UMMMMMMMMMMMM.... performance YES looks NO

 

Hum... well if aj-racing doesn't get back to me by the time i get off work I may just check at a trusted muffler shop

 

WHAT KINDA GAINS CAN U EXPECT FROM RUNNING A TEST PIPE OVER A STOCK CAT, CONSIDERING UR ALREADY RUNNING AN AFTERMARKET EXHAUST

 

I've heard somewhere around 4-5 dyno proven, not sure if they were running a aftermarket exhaust or not though.

 

Who cares what it looks like? I have a test pipe that was made by a muffler shop. From a performance standpoint, there is no difference unless they muffler shop uses the wrong size pipe. I did get some gains on the dyno, and my exhaust is otherwise completely stock.

 

Test pipe dyno gains can be seen here:

How much are we looking for to have an muffler shop fab up a test pipe? Also, if we are running a 2.5" exhaust, we would get a 2.5" test pipe correct?

 

- if someone can see your test pipe, then your car is too high..

 

QUESTION is how is the sound??
