Which test pipe did you get? Did you ever email Bryan at Berk technology?

thats what they get for tailgating. those same people are probably smoking marlboro red 100's while tailgating.

I ended up picking up ILIKE2DRIFT's test pipe since he was parting out his car. Bryan told me their out of berk test pipes and their next shipment will be a couple weeks. ILIKE2DRIFT didn't know what test pipe he had sicne he bought it off another forum member. But its def. not a megan, its not quite fully 2.5". Its just about 60 mm, so i think its a Invidia and it came with a "homemade" 02 extension

Ok,

I went to Moonliver's to pick up some tires yesterday just about the time when he was ready to take his car for a spin to test his new mod........bored out Cat I might add.

The unrestricted airflow smooths out the throttle response. The engine breathes much better. The OEM exhaust sounds 10x better, as if the notes are tooting from a V6. I still think it's bad to drive without a cat for the environement, but I guess each is own. Time to put this issue to bed.

BTW:

Brad, I had the tires mounted this morning.......shiet, I was rippin through the corners going to work.
