Default Test Pipe help...

I have the option of waiting 15 days for a Eurocode testpipe or getting an APR testpipe in 2 days.

The pricing is the same, either way.

Is there any reason why I should or should not take one over the other?
I know that the Eurocode pipe is 2.5" all the way through, I don't have any info on the specs of the APR pipe.

For the sake of reference / details:
I have APR ECU programming on my B7 and I will NOT be adding an exhaust system to the car, the stock exhaust is staying on it.

Any useful advice would be much appreciated.
I'm crunched for time, so the sooner I can get back to the shop that has it, the better.

I'm keeping the stock exhaust, so if it's opening to 3" and then closing back up before it escapes the stock pipes - I'm guessing that it won't help.
I've heard that it will create a "flutter" which I'm not sure I want.

Right.

But I haven't been able to locate information about the inlet/outlet size of the APR test pipe that is part of the K04 package.
That's what I'm buying. Someone bought a K04 upgrade from a tuner and already had the EuroCode pipe, so they didn't need it.
Now I have the option of grabbing it, but if it's a better idea to put the Eurocode pipe on the K03 with stock exhaust, then my plan was to wait.

Otherwise, I'm buying the APR pipe tomorrow.

There is no test pipe included w/ the APR package... just a turbo/manifold and gaskets/studs/hardware/software.

Im sure any test pipe will be 2.5" and above, since APR makes 2.5" exhausts....
