You get what you pay for (usually). They are not resonated, and they will probably throw a CEL. Spend a little more and get something worthwhile.

From the pics, they look like any other test pipes out there. Buy em, and buy the CEL fixers on eBay as well. Let me know if you feel any gains with your butt dyno

What kind of dyno did your numbers come from? I am getting a dyno on a dynajet with popcharger, plenum spacer, and catback. I hope I pull 260 hp with these mods.

Rasp sucks. Test pipes can still be had for cheap with resonators built into them you just have to look harder. While you are on ebay you might wanna type in JVT they at least have resonators.

i dont really trust no name parts off of ebay. i have heard alot of complaints. go to hopupracing.com. they have test pipes for a little more money with free shipping. i have the titek which i like. the helix tp are good also because they come with the extra support bracket. be prepared for your car to get raspy though. me personally i like the sound. some people may not. either way non resonated will give you your best gains. im building my car strictly for performance and could care less what it sounds like. sometimes you have to take the good with the bad. just my opinion
