Just wondering if there is an average number like from 11.0 to 11.5 after adding test pipes.

test pipes wont make your engine run lean. decrease fuel flow, or create a vaccum leak and your engine will run lean. i can gurantee it will make your service engine soon light come on with the quickness though.

money back guarantee? I have an 03, so I should be okay. The test pipes have non foulers also which should help.

Test pipe,s will make you run leaner as with any increase in air flow should be countered with an increase in fuel flow.I asked my tuner,dave at functiontuned if i could just add my test pipes and wait a while before getting it tuned and he said it will run lean on the top end.I am waiting until next week to put these on and staying out of boost till i get tuned to be on the safe side.

+1 on going lean up top. Plus your car is going to be loud as hell. Thats why drew (Gthizzle) is taking his off.

I have no idea [coulda been a line?]. Might be different for the 03's there also.

Where is the non-fouler attached? is it Before Cat or After?
