theese are cheeper but do they do they give the same performance?

 

Most likely they're fine. A test pipe is just a pipe with flanges on it. The only issue you might have (and I saw this with some downpipes and testpipes in the Z world), is that the fitment may or may not be good. Some guys bought them for their Zs and they lined up perfectly, but others said that the angles weren't right and they had trouble getting them to fit. Seems like it was hit or miss. But you'll probably be OK. You may find that the eBay ones are made with thinner metal or the welds aren't as high a quality though. Something to keep in mind at any rate. Power wise though, if they're the same diameter, chances are they'll make the same power.

 

Go for it. I would have if they were available when I got my TP.

 

i got mine off ebay, have not put it in yet but it looks great

 

sorry for this question in advance if it sounds dumb. But all the tp on ebay say for 1.8 engines. will they still fit a 2.8? i have a milltek exhaust but want something to bring the exhaust to life. Thanks.

 

no, the 1.8T test pipe is only for 1.8Ts.

 

a 3" pipe is a 3" pipe no matter where you get it, just make sure it doesnt look like its made outta wood lol

 

all right im going to go for it, i had the same ideas as you guys did but i just decided to ask because ebay parts are genarely ****

 

get it, let us know how it looks and works, then let us know which seller you got it through....... i am planning on doing mine in about a month or so

 

same here, been thinking of getting a TP from ebay, i did a search here in the forums,
andi saw a few people got it on ebay from the seller velocitymotoring. I have saved on my ebay,
just saving $ to get chip and some other stuff like a TP.
