Test pipes on OEM exhaust?

Has anyone installed test pipes on the OEM exhaust. I am looking to get the Fast Intentions Test Pipes, and add them to the OEM exhaust. Any feedback?

Do it. Fat Intentions is one of the best companies out there. Their products give you the best gains with the best sound you could ask for. The customer service is some of the best too. Ive got the FI HFC and soon Ill have the full catback Intimidator system too, I love the HFC. Test Pipes can only be better!

I would think it would sound great. As far as rasp, some will exist with any straight through test pipe.

A test pipe is basically just a cat delete straight pipe that is non-resonated (unless you get the resonated pipes). As far as what they do, some people feel they provide better air flow.

I will more than likely - damn thats a nice @$$ on crypten's avatar) - go with the resonated ones, as I will eventually get the FI Intimidator or the HKS Hi-Power Ti.

Might sound like that if your retarded and have a hearing aid... The stock exhaust with test pipes sounds extremely sexy!
