i see so many people going with test pipes, but what happens when it comes time to smog your cars?
Here in MA, emissions testing is only every 2 years. Also, if you fail, you have 90 days to fix it. I figure, if I fail, I'll just throw my cat back in, drive around for a week, then go back to get tested. I don't even have a cel and I've put on over 6K miles since the install.

I agree with if I fail.. Plus all they do is plug into the ECU where I get checked in NJ so hopefully that'll be all good..

AND I TOLD YOU THEY ARE AWESOME!!

Install the testpipe directly after you've done your smog test

Yeah exactly... tell the dude at the place:

I wanna keep my cat, in 2-3-4 years you come back, have him reinstall the cat... go take the test and your home free with more power for another couple years

2 years is a long time.. some people wont even own that car for that long.

Testpipes are so worth it in my eyes.. wish I wasnt broke[:@]

Okay so lucky me I got into 2 little races off the line today.. first one was with a new 2.8T and the second was a new G35! Now I don't know the quartermile times of these cars or the power but I do know G35s are supposed to be pretty fast.

So the 2.8T I just ate alive, to the point I felt like he wasn't even trying but I could tell he jumped at the line and could hear the engine as I took off... The G35 was also from a dead stop. But the kid wouldn't look over at me so I wasn't sure if he was planning anything so I let him get the jump. So I didn't even have the advantage of a good launch but once the turbo spooled up in 1st I was right on him, nose to the doors even tho he had a good 2 cars from his launch. Then I started walkin up on him at about 70 and at 80ish we were even and he backed off. So I don't know what my car runs but apparently it beats G35s so yay!

I have a 3' test pipe and I love it. Made the turbo very audible, quicker spool time, and a bit of low end torque.
