I have Helix V2 pipes. Great bang for your buck and an excellent first mod.

You'll need to get the o2 bung extender things (non-foulers) though so you don't throw a CEL.

nismos_rule · 08-11-2008, 08:31 PM

oh thats what i thought. where do you get those non-foulers at

HaulinZ · 08-11-2008, 10:05 PM

I have strup test pipes, It's only been on the butt dyno, and i feel more power mid-high end. it sounds amazing too.

test pipes make your car smell like gas fumes, I think they only help if you are FI, unless you like a loud exhaust

stinky stinky stinky and check engine light! But sounds badass!

I'm running Invidia TP's and bought CEL eliminators off Ebay for around $15. Never thrown a code but then never ran the pipes by themselves either. They really made the exhaust louder with a hint of rasp between 3500 and 4500 RPM. The cats were my major chokepoint having already done Borla headers and catback. I actually enjoy the note of my system but I've scared a few cyclists, especially when I downshift to pass them

For some reason 03 and early 04 VQ35's were the only ones that didnt throw off the CEL

nismos_rule · 08-12-2008, 05:51 PM

so did 05's throw a cel.

If you're that worries, why not just go to Pep Boys and buy some for $10-20?
