Default berk test pipes installed

Ok so i took out my crappy fast intention high flow cats. i was not impressed with them at all. i was told to use hi temp silicone to seal. but still got a cell, then used non foulers didn't help. i ordered some berk gaskets. well i installed the gaskets after spending an hour cleaning the silicone. the flanges on the high flows were curved and not flat. but of course i discovered this after already installing the gaskets. so i sold the cats and got the test pipes. still got a cel. ordered new o2 sensors thinking i damaged one. but the code i had was different this time. after talking to tony at motordyne, i had the codes for the fix they made. but he wanted me to try the brillo pad first, to see if it worked. so far im over 300 miles no cel. i will keep an update on how long this last or if i finally do get a cell. but im happy to have my cel off. now to get rid of the damn low tire light.

They make proven gains just like on the 03. With my agency power its a bit raspy in the lower rpms but it stops at about 4500rpm. I need to sound clip my exhaust with the test pipes. But its loud as hell.

lol if your going slow to the rpm is lots if you go fast its not so bad. i have a custom ypipe im working on. i have to order 2 8" vibrant resonators to mount in my shortend, ultimate racing ypipe. it should take care of the rasp, still sound good, and I am at almost 400 miles still no cel. so im happy.
