damn driver side test broke in 2 pieces right in front of the resonator good thing only cost me 20 bucks to get it reweld anyone got suggestions on some top of the line resonated test pipes

 

how long did you have your test pipes in before they broke? I have had mine in for 6 days and don't see any issues as of yet.

 

hahaah this seems to me another thread we see often...megan tp's ftl

 

+1

 

are megan racing the only ones that people see cracked? I have a different brand and was worried now. ANy other brands known for cracking?

 

I had a problem before with Megan TP use to throw black smoke under accelaration and idle, then I changed it to ICHIBA which I recommend for all NA (fixed all the problem no black smoke and did NOT crack).

 

i also heard the TURBO XS test pipes have cracked on some people

 

no **** lol

 

Hate to break it to you all, but all brands will crack. I think I had the last set of Kinetix test pipes alive and after 25K miles (including about 7K track miles), I never had a crack. But my Injen exhaust welds cracked (in about 8 different places) and even part of my OEM headers cracked.

If you don't want cracking, then stay with the OEM cats.

 

OK, I have been here several times and after many replacements, finally ended with an awesome product that sounds and performs awesome and after over 40k miles of use they still look brand new and the welds are a work of art.

UT-R Resonated Test Pipes, there is no better.

 

+1 Accept no substitute.

 

When I bought my car, the seller had Sebring TP's (resonated) installed. They seemed like a nice product when I took them off to put the cats back on. They had been on for about 10,000 miles and I saw no cracks.

 

Scott aka Skimnismo's Titek TP's cracked in half, after a week of being on his car

 

+1 lol Couldn't have said better.

 

I have NEVER seen any problem with any Megan Racing product failing, and I can break alot of parts,

 

yes they suck

 

Is it because you have a big megan racing sticker on the side of your car? Parts don't need to break to be proven inadequate for a purpose. My first test pipes on my old 06' Z were megan resonated and the resonators went bad in 2 days.

 

how can you tell if a resonator goes bad?

 

my testpipes have cracked twice. Going for the helix v2 non resonated next.
