test pipe differences

I think I'm going to buy some test pipes and was just wondering what is the major differences about them. I know I want the resonated ones, but some are a lot more expensive than others. I know you get what you pay for, but I don't see how it could make that much of a difference they are just stainless steel pipes, which is why I am asking. What are some good brands besides FI, how are the intense ones on everythingg35.com?

imo, non-resonated test pipes are test pipes.

however, the resonators are of different quality/size on resonated test pipes. some will still rasp a little while others will have little to none. i've heard the FI resonated test pipes on a stock exhaust once. sounded good. no rasp on the set that i heard anyway.
