I dont see the outlet diameter being an issue to me since I already have an aftermarket exhaust. I think for the price, you cant beat it even if they are "sub-par" quality.

how much HP can we expect to gain from these with a stock exhaust? I also have an AEM intake.

i'm sure they'll bolt up, that has to do with the flanges rather than the tubing... but there's going to be airflow issues since we're trying to mate the 2.5" outlet on this test pipe to the 2.25" inlet on our stock y-pipes

the result is going to be a bit of turbulence at the joint... unless of course you fabricate a 2.5" to 2.25" adapter and weld it into your stock y-pipe

most ppl run into this issue when buying an aftermarket y-pipe, but keeping the mid-pipe/muffler stock (with the exception of the kinetix y-pipe which matches up to stock diameters both front and back)

any comments from ppl who are running larger diameter y-pipes? is there a noticeable loss in performance due to turbulence?

Will this test pipe or any other test pipe pass emission? I don't want to install these and then swap them out when it's inspection time..

Anyone knows?

overall it made my car sound deeper..and meaner...i do get lil rasp at about 4500..but thats cus car was cold and i dont have the resonator on. My friend is gonna install the same pipes on his brand roadster so it should put out a different note..overall car has gotten a deeper note.

Ps. i got quoted ridiculous prices to install these so i say dont pay no more than $50..i got mine done free at a local shop..took about an hr.

let me know if anyone can host the clip for me..?
