Straight Test Pipes Ideas for stock exhaust
Looking for straight test pipes to replace my converter. Just wanting a louder exhaust note mainly. Unfortunately I cant afford to shell out $1500 bucks for a full catback sys. I like Berks so far...thoughts?

I got berks on mine before getting a catback. Honestly it doesn't make it that much louder but you can hear the difference, it will sound a little raspy but eh I liked how it sounded. Hope your OEM cats aren't as much as PITA to remove as mine were.

I just failed the sniffer with Fast Intentions HFC (same core as Berks..300cell). They will be getting rid if sniffer some time later this year, but you'll fail visual and still may fail the*new* OBD scan. If you want to create a better sound, you can find a nice catback for $900 (Gemini which I have) or get a take off from those on sale here. BTW, car will NOT perform as well in DAILY DRIVING with HFC or TP..I know this for a fact. Low end will be lacking and throttle less responsive. Shifting up with lift throttle is not as smooth either. I found this out recently when I put my cats back in after driving around with HFC for 2 years! I'll never go back. Just my 2 cents.

This. Baught both Z1 intake & test pipes. Did some more research heard many reviews on these and luckily I have a mechanic lined up to help pass smog But I'm curious what needs to be done to get rid of the check engine light?

You will not pass Ca smog with TP (or HFC ) if they still use sniffer at that time. Visual on TP will take a very *friendly* tester and they're making the visuals tougher to pass with the new OBD only testing. Good luck...as I said I failed recently with HFC on sniffer alone.
