Default Nice test pipe on Ebay

This seems like a great solution to those who have to pass a visual test during emissions testing. Seems legit, and I am thinking of getting it. Anyone have any experience with this particular Test pipe?

Well it still has a stamp on the housing that says "off road use only". So if they catch you with it on the car when you get pulled over or during inspection not only will you get a ticket you will most likely see a huge fine.

Good point. Whoever gets it would need to remove it. I don't have emissions inspections where I live but I know some others do and I thought it may benefit.

And it is not a very good test pipe since it is 2.5 and the exit from the turbo is over 2.75 so there is a restriction.

Funny thing is that the stock DP is only 1.78". LOL


I offer the ER 1.8t Test pipes which are 3" to 2.5".

You do know you are talking about a 1/8" lip on the back side which is not bad, its worse to have that lip on the front side and this is why most people make the test pipes 3". Just think of how bad the flow will be on a test pipe that has a 3" flange on the down pipe side even with a 2.5" down pipe.
