I already have Resonated test pipes. .that i bought from a customer of mine along with the Borla. .but i have no clue on what brand they are. .but i noticed a slight vibration i think coming from inside the resonated section of the test pipe on my Driver side. . so i was thinking since they are pretty cheap what's a good brand to get. .any ideas. .and i need to know if they DO NOT KICK ON A CEL. . .NJ's Laws have changed and im going to need inspection soon. . .BUT i do my own Inspections. .but i dont wanna C the engine light regardless. .
here's are what mine look like now. . Anyone kno which ones these are?. .so far no CEl and theyve been on least 20K now. ..

 

well, with test pipes, they are for off road use only, so you will NOT pass inspection. However, if you get some non-foulers and don't have a CEL and they don't look for cats, you should be fine. With an '03, you should be fine with the CEL, I have the Amuse Ti TP and have no CEL on my '03. Also, you will have better luck posting in the exhaust portion of the forum...

 

Pablo. . i do my own inspections it's more of i dont wanna C the engine light on regardless. . .because an engine light on means the o2's are not sensing proper gases making the car run bad in the long run. .. .

 

does anyone have or has had the test pipes made by top speed for Intense Power??

 

I have a set of the intense powers coming and they should be here tomorrow. Im putting them on my 03, Ill let you know how they are. Im pretty sure the 03s usually dont throw CELs.

 

you might not get CEL with any test pipes...since you have an 03. Some of the 03's don't show a CEL with test pipes, but some do.

those things you have look like they might be high flow cats.....
In any case all these questions are answered in the top 100 questions thread.

I cannot make any guarantees about any brand test pipe.

 

put non foulers on your car. I have some brand new ones for sale drilled out professionally for 25 shipped.

 

yeah i might by the intenses as well. .but as far as the ones i have now they are deff resonated. .

 

How do you do your own inspections? Do you work at a garage?

 

haha. .yes i work at a garage. .i just come on here to see what you guys say n beef about. .it's amusing. .and i just like to get other's opinions on things. .say if u tried it out saves me the time and money to waste if there are problems. .only thing i dont kno is what brand my damn Tpipes are. .even the kid who i bought em from doesn't know. .was tellin me UR. .so i checked and they dont make em. .he said he got em over at MRC in NJ. .but when i called the guy he wasnt sure either. .so im stumped. .and i can never find a pic of any that look like mine. .so i figured i'd just buy new ones since the PRIce Is riiiiiiight!!!

 

Umm, NO, that is not what it means. First of all, as stated above, the '03s will NOT throw a CEL with test pipes. The '04.5 and later will. However, that would NOT make a car run bad in the long run (or short run), because the only purpose of the after-cat sensors is to monitor cat effectiveness, and will not have any effect on how the car runs.

 

things read out of a magazine no less. .look. .if the rear o2 sense's the cats not efficient enough to clean the exhaust telling the car that it's possible that the engine is running rich. .therefore the engine will try to correct itself b4 kicking on a p0420 code stating that the cat's bad. ..in other words the car may or may not run bad in the long run. .what do you think the 02's are just for the cats health???. . . 02's are now heated as well. .so that a low voltage stays on with them to work soon as u start. .keeps them hot so the computer doesn't have to wait for a reading. .and if your a cali emissions vehicle you might also have an a/f o2 sensor. .measure's the a/f in the exhaust gases as well. .letting the comp run to it's efficiency. .

 

You are talking out of your ****. Better quit while you are behind. The ONLY purpose of the rear O2 sensors is exactly what I said. If you would like to redesign our cars, better contact Nissan. In addition to the FSM, they need to rework the ECU.

 

BLAH HAHAH. .become an inspector and emissions repair tech. .then come back and talk to me about what o2's purposes are. .im going to be nice. .about this but unplug your o2 and drive around see how much GAS you waste. .from the vehicle corrections. .
thanx!!

 

All of us are born ignorant, but a few decide to stay that way - we now know where you stand. I could post page EC-339 of the FSM, but I'll let other members on this forum have some fun with you first. BTW, is studying English not required for inspectors and emissions techs? Your posts are painful to read.

EDIT: If you SEARCH this board you will find all the answers you seek, w/o resorting to such complicated things as the FSM. Try P0420 or P0430, or cat efficiency, or test pipes even. There are discussions similar to this every time a know-it-all noob stumbles on this topic.

 

experience is the key. . .keep up the good work tho. .

 

There are 2 sensors above the test pipes...just a hint.

 

Please, no help from the audience.

 

sorry
