Test pipes that don't crack?
Can anyone recommend some types of test pipes they have had luck with NOT cracking or problems with the ecu? I'm changing the exhaust to true dual and yes I know it will be loud.Thanks for the help.

I like my Strup pipes. Anything is better than TurboXS. Those Helix pipes look ok, at least the hanger attachment points and welds look a lot better than the TurboXS pieces.

I have been looking at test pipes to. I have noticed that some will give a check engine light. Have any of you guys had a problem with this?

Anti-foulers solve that problem. Just cough up the $19 to Zexy and problem solved.

Didn't you have Kinetix HFC? Why the change if you don't mind the question?

He said in another thread there was a rattle inside one of the cats, as in, possibly broken cat material.

we've sold TONS of the Turbo XS pipes, and bought out the entire last shipment...that's why they were backordered

After 20,000 miles the Kinetix high-flow catalytic converters failed internally. They rattled so loud it was embarrassing to drive.

Thanks, test pipes it is then. 20,000 miles is about 10 months if I'm lucky so that's no good.
