I went and searched "test pipe reviews" and read all of them. One distinct thing that I noticed that they all say that there is a "bad smell". Is this inside of the cabin? Or just outside of the car? I would like to hear people who have test pipes of their thoughts on this. Whether it is a smell you get use to and isn't all the bad or if its just nasty and worth getting highflow cats instead.

 

omg why do you ask such a question.

1 - yes/no
2 - yes/no
3 - if you want HFCs, get HFCs.

 

Test pipes don't smell nearly as bad as people make it out to be. It is overrated. There is a little smell but it's not bad at all. I say go for it!

 

Have you been around car that didn't have a cat , guess what, your car will smell the same.

 

You get a little bit of a rich fuel smell. It's nothing severe and not noticed inside the car at all unless you happen to be sitting in traffic for extended periods.

 

I couldn't tell the difference going from stock cats to resonated Testpipes. Maybe for the first 5min then i dont even notice it.

 

Ya I was mainly wondering about the smell inside the cabin. I could care less what it's going to smell like outside the car. Oh and I was wondering if JVT Headers and Test Pipes will mate up with Borla True Dual exhaust?

 

Properly installed test pipe does not leak. Doesn't make any smell.

 

only time i smell anything is if i go for a hard run then stop almost immediately after

 

Sweet deal. Thats good information. Thanks guys. I'm debating whether or not to do the header install myself. I think I'm going to take it to a shop and be a wuss..It looks pretty intensive and I don't want to mess anything up.
