mike, did you do the test pipe install yourself, if so I got a couple questions
I have a few questions about install.
I tried to install mine tonight, but realized 1/2 way thru I didn't have the right tools
1. What do you remove the O2 sensor with (size wrench)??
2. How did you remove the 3 bolts holding the cat on?? (I got 2 off using a 8mm socket for the end of the bolt/spine looking thing, BUT this MUST not be the right tool, as there was a lot of play and on #3, it just spins..........it was/is so frustrating, I don't know where to go from here???
please answer ASAP, as I have my car partly taken apart so I can finish the job as soon as I hear an answer.
THANX!!!

Excellent comparison videos. Thanks!
My opinions on the sounds...
Stock = Melodic
Borla = Stock+Deeper+Aggressive (loses melodic tone)
Borla&TP = Borla+Louder+Rasp/Buzz/Popping
I'm not too thrilled with the test pipe sound... I could see how some would like it. IMO it sounds cheaper, but to each...
The gains are there. If I could get over the sound & smell of them, I'll probably take the dive.

7/8" for the O2's
There is a star looking bolt that you need to remove, my dad had the star looking socket, so we got it out with ease.

Mike you know this belongs in Gallery/Videos.. 
Ps - What kind of test pipes do you have? Did you use gaskets between test pipes/headers, and test pipes/borla?

Maybe SportZ could be convinced to make this there next shootout although, I think that I am going to get the pipes and finally put the headers on that have been setting here for months..

Very nice clips. Looks professional and everything. One of the best comparison clips ive seen yet
. I am wanting that Borla TD more and more.
Why would the smell go away??? Youll never burn off whats supposed to be burned without your cats. And how does the sound mellow out?
BTW- whats up with that last clip? Light switch where are you? Cant see anything?

The sound will mellow out a bit after a few hundred miles, the smell will also go away after a few hundred.
