quick question guys, I was looking into the test pipes as well as the Headers, I have the NISMO exhaust so i would need a 2.25" correct? And has anyone put test pipes with their nismo exhaust? All help greatly appreciated, making purchase soon.

The car I installed Strup headers and Strup (unresonated) 2.25" TP's on had a Nismo exhaust. Needless to say, when we were finished it was LOUD and IMO raspy. Under 3K it sounded like ....um not my favorite.... but over 3K the car really sounded like a Ferrari 360, seriously.
My only suggestion to you here is going to be resonated test pipes, of any reputable brand. I think this will make you the happiest in terms of sound and power for your money. But just so you know, I installed the Nismo headers on my car before I did the rest of the exhaust and the car sounded pretty mean, a real deep throaty sound, and the guys in my club said good things about it. Your looking at about 7whp out of the headers and 5-10whp out of the TP's.
Good luck man, let me know what your final choice is and how it turns out for ya!
yes you will want 2.25" test pipes
