Default Cheap decent quality test pipes for us?

I tried searching, but still couldn't find out what people feel about the ebay testpipes. Also, what are the cheaper "name brand" alternatives.

thanks in advance guys!

I have a berk test pipe for the HR that I am selling. It is currently paired with the turbo xs exhaust and it sounds awesome. Only thing is that it is quite loud and this is my DD so I have to swap back in the stock cats. PM if you are interested in picking up a pair of test pipes with less then 3k miles on them.

Aren't most test pipes like $200-300 anyways? At least for some decent ones. So what's another $100 on top of that?

Megan TP are "cheap" and regardless of what some people say, are pretty good quality. The new V2's have the extended bung for the O2 sensor (no CEL) and a flex section.

There's also Fast Intentions, Berk, Stillen, AAM, Invidia, and many more. You should look at this site for future similar questions.

EDIT: Link denied! anyway search for 350ztech+wiki on google and you will find some great info.

^^^^Excellent Information^^^^

The extended bung doesnt do anything. you still get a CEL.
The AAMs have an extended bung as well. It also throws a cel.

The berk test pipes throw a CEL after about 200 miles. As of now, I don't know a single person who can get around the O2 sensor for the HR motor in the test pipes, they all throw a CEL eventually.
