Red face Test Pipes

Hey everyone,
Just wanted to know what you guys think about test pipes. What kind of numbers were you getting when you got one? Also, are they better with intake and exhaust? PLMK. I wanna get one for my car if they are easy to install and if they give you decent numbers. LBNL, do you guys think that my car will be to loud since I have Invidia exhaust, and a V2 CAI?
Thanks in advance,
Anthony

Here you go. These were done on a Mustang dyno (they read a little lower than a Dynojet). Overall, good results.

No date...
I would expect 8+whp on an average test pipe. Best mod for the money IMO.

Really? Do you have any dyno charts to support that? I haven't seen that.

I love mine, I could tell the vtec transition seemed to be a little smoother. It is a breeze to install. Maybe 10-15 minutes. You will need to get a few bolts to install. Remove the CAT and you will see what all you need. I went with stainless ones for easier removal in the future.

the stock cat. is extremely efficient a test pipe will make minimal performance differences. It will change the exhaust note/smell.

So some of you say that it is a good mod for the money, others way that it is ok. Anyone actually have dyno proven results? I am just worried that it will make my car so much louder, after all the Invidia exhaust is already so freakin loud. I don't want it to be so loud that every cop on the road will pull me over for a noise violation.

Does the VTEC crossover sound any louder? Cause I know that the gains won't be noticable.

I got the mugen exhaust I wouldn't mind the exhaust being a little louder either.
