Default Beluga test pipes

Anyone know anything about them? Can't seem to find any reviews on them. 140something$ Too good to be any good?

No, TP's are TP's. I bought my Berk TP's off someone in 08 in the box(new) for somewhere around that price.

I disagree ^ Go with someone that knows what they're doing. I've seen some Meagan test pipes that were garbage...cracked flanges, and O2 bungs that literally nearly were pointing straight down to the ground.

So, no. TP's are not just TP's. Do a little research. I'd recommend Z1's test pipes. They come with support brackets welded in place that allow you to retain your OEM cat brace and have lasted me a long time without any issues.

I agree with RENFRO. Z1 makes great products, and they actually have a clue what works. I have topspeed testpipes on my HR, and they are barely sufficient. They are thin, and sound tinny. I'd much rather have Berks, or Z1's.

Well I'm ordering a set of resonated beluga tp's tomorrow, cost around 150$. I haven't seen any reviews on them besides a full beluga exhaust on the 370 forums, so I'll let you guys know how they are when I get them and install them.


PS. If anyone does have these and wants to chime in(good or bad) before I order them tomorrow night I'd appreciate the info.

Not sure if anyone cares, but I figure if anyone gets curious this will show up in a search, anyway I got them installed, it only took me and a buddy about an hour and a half with a car lift. The pipes themselves looked to decent quality, pretty good welds, the hardware was ok. Figment was spot on, didn't have to pull or push anything to make it reach. And I have the 04.5 base Z with about 40 miles so far and no cel(knock on wood), no non fouler trick or anything. As far as sound I have the flowmaster 80 series muffler and about midrange rpm it sounds really nice, very little to no rasp depending on what your doing, I like it and would buy again.
