Default Resonated Test Pipes??

Hey guys,

So im in the market for resonated test pipes, and I have spent the last few hours looking at threads and pics of resonated test pipes. I know test pipes are supposed to be cheaper than hfc's, but some test pipes, like FI, are over 400!!! I wanted some help because im about to lose my cool and go crazy from searching and reading, but what are some resonated test pipes for the hr that are in the 100's. The marketplace has some test pipes, but most are for 03-06, and all megan racing test pipes are sold. Wondering if there are any test pipes that are cheap. No ebay brands and resonated only, thanks guys.

Good luck. For some reason, the HR ones are hard to find.

ive had megan racing on for 6 months. great buy for the money....my only complaint is i sometimes have a little bit of white smoke coming out when i shift, but i can only see it at night when someone is behind me, i can see the smoke in their lights...its not alot by any means. but im sure with removal of cats you will run into this problem.

Price is not an assurance of quality but it is a indicator. Yes you can buy Acme test pipes on eBay for $100. But do you want to replace cracked test pipes at 10,000 miles?

get intense power's house brand of resonated test pipes. real nice quality and i pm'd the vendor on here and he lowered the price from $150 shipped to $136. Ive heard good things about them and i can attest to the compliments. cheap but not sacrificing a whole lot of quality

Flange on the exhaust manifold is different from the DE to the HR. I'm guessing 2 bolts would probably fit, but i've never tried. The length of the flange and position of the lower hole are way different.

Hey guys, sorry for a noob question, but is there any way to make the smell from test pipes decrease? Its not too bad, but wouldnt mind eliminating some of the smell. just wondering if thats possible, love the sound of the test pipes. That is why i chose it over hfc, if not, too bad. Just asking. Btw, my cnt test pipes threw a cel even thought i thought it had nonfoulers built in. What could be wrong?
