Default The Heck is A Test Pipe? Would Anyone Care to Educate Me?
I have Thermal R&D Race System was wondering if test pipe would increase the performance? Also what pieces does the test pipe actually replace and what is it supposed to do?

TIA,
Oenophile

It's called a test pipe because by removing the cat, it's no longer street legal.

Default do you guys know if Thermal R&D's Race Sytem Includes Test Pipe or Not?
Or does it just include Down Pipe? I am confused as to whether the Down Pipe is the same as the Test Pipe @_@

Default and dangerous to environment as well as a liklier chance of killing yourself by
carbon monoxide at a long red light or traffic on memorial day weekend.

Thats a little dramatic now. The exhaust still exits the rear of the vehicle
