Hi,
Soon I will have an intake, headers and exhaust. Is it worth getting a test pipe? How much gain does it provide? What kind is good?
Thanks

 

are you kiddin me. it rules. get it hands down. late dave

 

haha thanks!


what kind do you guys recommend?
will the check engine light go on?

 

I'm also interested in a test pipe, but I'm concerned with how the exhaust gases smell... any opinions?

 

Yes, the CEL light will be on, and if you do not get an O2 simulator (or create some way to fool the stock ECU) the ECU (I think) will de-tune to cut emissions. I have heard of using a hollowed out spark plug. There should be a DIY on here about it somewhere, as a good number of people have test pipes.

I too am considering getting one. I do not have a header yet, only a comptech cat-back and INJEN cai. Will a test pipe help much on a stock header? If not, are there any decent headers for ~$500? (J's and Rick's are higher).

I have the Berk Technology test pipe and I am very very happy with it on my f22C. I also have the Hondata intake manifold gasket, AEM V2 and Pro Flow TB. The Berk unit addresses the CEL and comes ready to install as is.

 

sorry to hijack, but

what are some other popular test pipe manufacturers?

for those of you who dont want the Berk test pipe this is all you have to do https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=229959

took me 10 mins.

 

what exactly is a test pipe, and what does it do?
ive read various posts about them being illegal, is that true?
