Not to much to look at actually..... Just jack your car up and look at your cats... Then picture them w/ a straight thru pipe and no cats... There you go... I am sorry, I don't have pics of my pipes otherwise I'd post some up for you.

Yea but they're also $350+ compared to the $90 on ebay. I found T-Pros and Megan Racing ones on Ebay for about $100 some. What do you guys think?

Not making you test them out.... Just remember... You get what you pay for... Why put $100 pipes on a 30K+ car?

Go with a reputable brand and save yourself the headaches later on... The pipes are only as good as the welds holding them together.

You really need to research more before you buy anything...

ok... heres the deal. i tried the Megans because they're cheap. when i got them i was pleasantly surprised with the welds. i keep seeing everyone going on and on about crappy welds. all i can think is that they have never actually seen them up close to form their own opinion, or saw a pair that should have never got by Q/C. im thinking that its the first.
lets not forget what were talking about.. a straight pipe with a bubble in it. how is a 350 dollar pair going to differ from a 100 dollar pair? maybe over time there would be a difference. but the fact of the matter is, most people wont keep their car long enough to find out. and if you do.. and its that important to you, spend the extra cash.
for you guys saying "you get what you pay for", i agree.. but with these things in mind, i don't believe that rule applies here.
