Test Pipe Pros & Cons?
I'm thinking about installing a test pipe but before I pull the trigger I thought I would throw it out to the group for their opinion. I would like to hear from anyone who actually has/had one in their car or riden in one. Good or bad?

For a TT a test pipe in place of the stock cat should do wonders...
but for my 3" DP, I tried a test pipe in place of my 400 cell racing cat... and there was ZERO difference as verified by the dyno...

Test pipes are illegal on the street and only legal for track use.
Forums are open for all eyes to see.
Obviously there are benefits with a larger piping and less backpressure on a turbo charged car. But there are also drawbacks (failed O2s, CELs, fried EGTs). For track power mongers it is the only way to go though.
