test pipes...?

Any recommendations on what kind of test pipes to get? I need something cheap that sounds good and improves the sound and performance of my G its completely stock so they have to be compatible with the stock exhaust...by the way its an 05, thanks guys!

If you want cheap and dont care about the sound get the megans. They sound good at an idle and WOT but around 3k rpms they sound like crap. Your best bet is to save your money and do it right the first time and get ART test pipes. But no matter what you will have rasp if you get test pipes.

^Yep, still trying to get rid of it. Tried the Autozone non-fouler trick but no luck. Going to try putting steel wool in the non-foulers next.

I had Fast Intentions resonated test pipes, they sounded great no rasp or drone like non resonated test pipes. DO NOT get non resonated test pipes you will regret it. The Fast Intentions ones came with non-foulers so no check engine light.
