z tube is the oem intake tube on the Z...you know the pipe that goes from the throttle body to the intake box.
a test pipe is a replacement pipe to where your cats go... usually straight through pipes...sometimes resonated
any other questions you non-search button using newb?(hahah )

again it is entirely up to you to get test pipes
one is short ram...goes under the hood....absorbs more heat
the other is cold air....sucks in cold air...has been shown to lose low end trq.....
seriously though you have 870 posts...are you really a newb or just retarted(and i mean that in the most respectful way possible)

Oh, that made my day.
You don't have to be a car guy to use the search function. I don't like to flame people, so I'll shuddup now.
Hey DavidV... What's it like being in a comma? Is it like having your period?

I've heard that the cats are the most restrictive part of the exhaust and that test pipes would totally free up the flow in that section giving you substantial gains. So you guys are sure they wont yield any significant horsepower?
