I have Helix V2 pipes. Great bang for your buck and an excellent first mod.

You'll need to get the o2 bung extender things (non-foulers) though so you don't throw a CEL.

The "official" part name is: Spark Plug Non-Fouler

I have strup test pipes, It's only been on the butt dyno, and i feel more power mid-high end. it sounds amazing too.

test pipes make your car smell like gas fumes, I think they only help if you are FI, unless you like a loud exhaust

I'm running Invidia TP's and bought CEL eliminators off Ebay for around $15. Never thrown a code but then never ran the pipes by themselves either. They really made the exhaust louder with a hint of rasp between 3500 and 4500 RPM. The cats were my major chokepoint having already done Borla headers and catback. I actually enjoy the note of my system but I've scared a few cyclists, especially when I downshift to pass them

For some reason 03 and early 04 VQ35's were the only ones that didnt throw off the CEL

If you're that worries, why not just go to Pep Boys and buy some for $10-20?
