Default About to Buy Test Pipes and Need Opinions!

I have done my research..alot.
I already have a Greddy Evo 2 Exhaust and I am about to buy some test pipes. I have been looking at some different brands and i was wondering if anyone has had experience with any of these or any suggestions. I dont want to buy SHI** PLEASE HELP

The Brands Are...

Strup
Titek
JVT
Megan
Turbo XS
Berk
Kinetix

I know I havent really narrowed it down but i need suggestions. I really wanted Helix but they are discontinued and cant find them anywhere.

Any Thoughts?

I know its alot but im just stuck.

i have Megan Racing resonated test pipes and they are NICE!!!! gave my exhaust and nice growl, no rasp or anything close to it. Mine is an 06 so the CEL came on after about 50 miles. Haven't got a time to fix it with the non foulers but i believe that will address the CEL problem.

Difference among brands is negligible. Its a empty piece of pipe.

JVT resonated are junk.

i bought them and headers and they didn't fit well at all. I had to dent the headers to fit from the steering knuckle and the test pipes caused my cat back exhaust not to line up. I had to cut and reweld my borla to get it to line up to the test pipes. The resonated part also hangs about 1" lower than the crossbrace...they are waiting to be ripped off.

resonated the way to go. not sure of megan's quality with exhausts. heard some stuff about them cracking/breaking. the non-resonated pipes will cause the dreaded rasp.

I had F.I. test pipes and my only suggestion would be, DON'T BUY test pipes.

I am considering Ichiba resonated TP's. I don't see the name around here much but research show's they are as good or a bit better them most. Optional CEL fix as well for $30
