Why is everybody so interested in putting test pipes on their cars and becoming gross polluters all for a couple of additional horsepower? You would see better performance gains by putting some lightweight wheels on your car, instead. Or, learning to drive the car better, etc... Becoming a gross polluter (and thereby making the EPA enact tougher laws, emissions testing, and consequently higher annual costs on ALL of us) just to gain less than 8hp and 6 ft/lbs of torque is retarded. My daily driver's horsepower and torque ratings at the wheels probably varies more than that just depending on the air density of a given day.

I'll step off my soap box, now.

 

^^^^nice

 

maybe i should trade in my car for a hybrid.... Then the world will be a better place....

F**K Hybrids they are not going to last long

 

You missed the point.

Why pollute excessively when today's high flow cats are so efficient you don't really lose any horsepower from them?

 

I got tired of the check engine light and the smell from the test pipe. I'm putting mine back on this weekend actually. Unless you're full on racing at the track and need that extra 1hp then don't get the test pipe; makes a raspy sound anyway.

 

are you going to sell you test pipe Chris? if so how much?

 

i was just pulling your chain Ricky...haha ...

And i dont have a testpipe... Just catback...

My exhaust doesnt sound raspy.

 

It's not really the exhaust note but if you listen carefully it sounds like a little bit of sand is flowing through the pipes.

@Adolfo: I think the First Racing mufflers have a 4" tip on them. I'll measure them when I get home. That is the biggest I'd go on an exhaust tip for anything.
