so anyways, ive been looking around and is there any such thing as a test pipe for a 2000 a4 2.8 v6 ? i know it removes the cat and such but havent been able to find one for my car.. any suggestions or anyone selling one out there?

let me know

 

If you can't find one, just go to a local muffler shop and get them to make you a couple of custom hollow pipes with o2 bungs and put them in place of your catalytic converters.

 

yup, just what he said ^^^^ meineke or midas or any exhaust shop can do the work for you. they probably dont make a test pipe for a 2.8 but it doesnt mean it cant be done....a test pipe is just a straight metal pipe instead of having a catalytic converter. an exhaust shop would probably do one for rather cheap.

 

No emissions testing in Orange, Connecticut?

 

oh there is, i just dont care lol .. well my goal would be to have the cat pipe and test pipe interchangeably bolt right in when i put it on a lift, so emissions wont be a problem. but i think we only do emissions every 2 or 4 years

 

test pipes are great just make sure that they cut out the cat in a way that u can easliy put it back in if u need it .
(flanges at each end)

 

what is a test pipe?? well all it is ( is a precast pipe ) so you can install a pipe to compensate for cutting the cat out of the equation

 

you must keep the first o2 sensor in the pipe and the other hung up otherwise the ECU will detect a flow fault

 

and its illegal but who gives a sh

 

I don't see the point on a 2.8 the gains are minimal hell you might even loose some low end TQ
