Default Its just a legally safe name for the removal of the calalytic converter
the test pipe is for "off road use only" ;-)

Default So it would go... 1.) Down Pipe 2.) Test Pipe 3.) Exhaust
How much gain for all three of these?

Default actually, the test pipe serves a purpose. it's to test if your Cat is plugged up, but i can be used
as a regular straight pipe.
