but they were $350 plus shipping but im going to pick them up cuz they are local...
of course.. after i ordered them there are tons of other people releaseing test pipes...

mine shoots flames pretty well they are short though and barely reahc out past the mufflers. happens if you take it up to the rev limiter (but dont bounce off) then release and it backfires a few times throwing flames as it backfires. i have injen w/test pipes

I have test pipes and after driving from Charleston to Augusta I was almost home and a car behind me was flashing their high beams at me. I wonder if I was shooting fire out of the back? Maybe after driving all those miles I got fuel in my exhaust and it started to combust? I have a stock exhaust too. Could this be harmful?

no chance of that happening. the stock exhaust would never let it get that far. nor would it be using enough fuel to not burn it completely, nor would the exhaust get hot enough to ignite the fuel.

Jason, if you can, post a clip of your test pipes/NISMO combo. I will have a XERD/NISMO combo come Monday. I am worried it will not sound good. I think anything will be better than the volume it is now. Thanks!!
I have heard plenty of NISMO/RT cats clips but not test pipes yet. Help!
