The smell from the test pipe doesn't bother you guys? It was pretty bad with the top down when I was running my Berk tp.

I love my stinky exhaust.

The wall of my parking garage has two small black marks on it now because the car sits there warming up a bit before I drive always. Sometimes I pass out from the exhaust fumes, but the headaches go away once I start moving jk. It's really not as bad as I thought from what everyone said. Only complaint is that the complete exterior of my pipes is yellow. But it does come off.

I like the sound the test pipe makes and when I first installed it and the car felt quicker than with the cat.

When I dyno'd the car I found that I was actually losing power so I left my cat on and it actually seems to have better response (+more power and TQ.). Losses where the worst between 6500 and 7500 rpms.

Any of you guy's not running any type of fuel tuning want to drive with the test pipe for a few months and then dyno with the test pipe and then without (put the cat back on) and see if you get the same results?

I know I would have made power with tuning but curiose to see if the culprit was OBD-II.

I got a video of my car with stock exhaust and Berk TP on my computer. I guess I could upload it after work. I also think it sounds quite good!
Sweet... don't forget to do it

For those of you who have not seen the inside of a cat, this is a view looking through one. High flow is relative
