Best test pipes
Anyone had any problems with their Megan Racing Test pipes ?
Also wanted to know if pretty much any test pipes out there (minus the ebay garbage) will bolt on to the stock Y pipe ? (I'm aware the diameter should be the same or close to as the stock y pipe but was wondering if depending on the diameter if the holes for the bolts would matchup)
My other question is ; are test pipes universal throughout 2003-2008 models ?
MUCH THANKS !!

i had my shop do it but the hassle was the 02 sensor. They said it was screwed on to tight from the factory and they stripped it trying to take it out. So the guy re-threaded it.

When you install the new pipe, you get a complete set of bolts and gaskets. Now you can tighten all the bolts from under the car using a wrench and a socket set.
As for the O2 sensor, remove the OE converter with the sensor still attached. Place one end the OE converter flanges into a vice to hold the assembly still. Use penetrant spray on the O2 sensor. Wrench the O2 off now. If it will not budge, then use a propane hand torch to warm up the O2 fitting on the converter. (So it expands) Don't apply the heat to the O2 sensor directly. It should be easier to remove now.
This is easy enough that you don't need to take it to a shop. If the shop agrees to $30 install charge, then you might want to consider it. LOL
