Default If you're thinking of getting a test pipe......DO IT!!!

Got mine done two days ago and absolutely love it. It was a PITA to install but totally worth it. I have a noticable power gain through all the rpm range. It took my car about 50 miles to get used to it but now it screams. onepoint8tee, DO IT. you will probably get even more power gains because of your exhaust.

It's a tiny bit louder, but it think it's the mid muffler I put in, not the test pipe.

I'll give it a shot, but I'm not very good at getting the video onto my computer.

It will be louder due to the sound waves not reflecting off the honeycomb in a CAT... You can replace it with a resonator, but a resonator that small might not do much for sound... They definitely help a turbo exhale thats for sure! Usually resulting not only in more power but quicker spool up times...
