U don't get alot more HP with test pipes... A few people on the forums have dyno'd the two and the test pipes gained 1 more hp than the HFcats... I really dont think that is worth it... And when u run test pipes ur CEL light comes on... I've gone through Kinetix's HF, test pipes, and then to Random tech HF cats... I like my hf cats ...

unless you track your car, test pipes arent necessary imo.

high flow cats wont rasp whereas some test pipes will.

the stillen race pipes i have don't cause cel, not sure why they're different. Be prepared though, with the lack of back pressure you actually lose a bit of torque w/o cats

Thats pretty crazy that ur cel light didn't go off... Mine did when i had test pipes...

And u can totally feel the loss in tq... Especially at lower RPM's... I was tempted to put my stock cats on... But i ran it at the track and broke into the high 13's with the HF cats... So i kept them on...
