Dont get AAM if you want resonated. They seem to be great for power but they do rasp a bit. Jon's car sounds pretty good and I've never heard any rasp from it. Im sure he could chime in on the Fast Intentions TPs.

I dont think there are gonna be any real CEL fixes. I just go to Advance auto every copy hundred miles and reset it myself. Its free and only takes a couple seconds.

I have the Berk Test Pipes and love them. They are straight flow so they do give off rasp but the sound is amazing. Check out my youtube if you want to hear some vids of before and after. (sneakyevo)

I would recommend you find a mod friendly dealership and pay the extra money to have them installed. I went through such a headache with mine. The top bolt that mates the header and test pipe is a ***** to get off. Some guys have had o2 sensor problems like myself. I had to buy new ones. What a pain in the butt. Just my 2 cents.

Buy the ScanGaugeII for $149 and mount it in the car and reset it as much as you want. It also tells you a ton of information regarding what your car is doing, from oil temps, coolant temp, air temps, volt, gas, etc etc.

I put the AAM pipes on about a week ago. What a pain those top bolts are. On the passenger side I snapped the head off and on the driver side I ended up cutting it off. Do yourself a favor and buy a set of sensors. It's alot of hassle to do buy well worth it in the end.

The one you mentioned requires a laptop. The I mentioned is small and will mount above the rear view mirror and gives you all the info on that small screen.

Question

^^
Fast Intentions has resonated test pipes for the 07?

I thought they only supplied non-resonated test pipes.
