Default Testpipes on stock pipes/dps... what do you guys think?

I am going to have Mike make me some testpipes for my car. I was wondering what are the good and bad parts of this? I understand that I will be pushing alot more hp, how much? Also, how would I pass smog?

Default Your post is confusing as hell. You won't pass smog and you'll be pushing more horsepower,not A LOT

It's kind of hard to say how much more HP you'll be pushing. Some say up to 20whp, but I really doubt it's that much. I would guess more like 10-12. There is no way you are going to pass smog with test pipes. Your best bet is to either wait until after your check, or if it's kind of far off, put the test pipes on, then put on cats for the test, then put the test pipes back on again.

And if my post doesn't make any sense....well, all I have to say is Happy St. Patty's Day.

Then if he needs to pass smog he can barrow my cats.

If he makes test pipes anything like mine, only 6 bolts per cat. No welding involved
