Moved to the proper forum

Browse or search this forum. This question has been asked and answered millions of times.

Do the research and you'll probably find that Test Pipes are nothing but tubes with flanges welded to both ends. Nothing special or magical about them. They are all essentially the same. Buy a pair that fit - that's all you really need to know.

Members spend $300 for test pipes and they crack with 10,000 miles. Other members spend $100 and they are still good after 50,000 miles. Go figure.

Berk hands down. Great quality, good gains. IMO it's best to avoid that resonated crap. Just adding more welds that can crack.

Motordyne or Berk - both are very reputable in quality, design, and customer support.

Look into Motordyne's ART pipes if you can afford them. They are supposed to net the highest gains possible and have branch-resonators that are supposed to eliminate rasp. Can't go wrong there!
