Default Test Pipe Experiences

Ok so im having trouble with my exhaust and a member told me it may be test pipes. I know most of us had broke test pipes. So this thread is to see what ur using and how long they have been crack free? This is to help me make my decision on whats 1s i need to replace my Cracked AAMS tps with according to ur feedback. Also what exhaust do u or have u had on ur current test pipes?

Megan Racing tps on injecteds website has a flex joints which looks to be beneficial. I need some reviews guys and gals lol. Ill be buying next friday(Payday) Thanks

I had X02 test pipes $75 and 3 cracks later (welded twice ) i ditched them for Megans with the flex joints. Canadianor Jordan i don't remember his name on this site has about 5K on the Megans without problem.

Waiting on Motordyne to start selling test pipes, i would bet they will be well matched for their exhausts.

I had the Fast Intentions resonated test pipes for 1 year on my car, maybe 12k miles. I had them bolted to Strup headers and Fast Intentions catback too. Had no problems at all with them. They even took a hit or two and held up just fine.

My friend has a set of Helix V2's on his otherwise stock 04 Z. These are the versions with the "built in" nonfoulers. Well they didn't work and we had to add a set of drilled out nonfoulers. But now the problem is that they stick out really far from the test pipes, and the bungs are angled about 5 or 10 degrees from horizontal.

The extra set of nonfoulers did the trick for the SES light atleast. But after we installed them, it just didn't look right. That was 4 weeks ago, and he hasn't lost either of the o2 sensors. I should have got a picture of it.
