As long as they fit you should be fine....I don't know why berks are so much money. When you think about the materials used, even these seem a bit steep.

 

the SES light will come on with those for surrrrrrrrrrre.

 

and the berk's won't?

 

From what I read FI and Berks are a hit and miss when it comes to SES. I'm sure this will be the same for these test pipes. I'm still planning on getting hfc's though.

 

I still haven't seen a check engine light with GTM's test pipes on my car.

 

Can you smell the fumes with the gem test pipes?

 

thats cuz u got a J tube brotha lol

GTM FTMFW!!!!!

 

like they said, its a hit and miss situation.

But tests have a bigger advantage of throwing off the SES light. It's just a straight pipe. Nothing is dividing away from the sensor. It's blowing straight onto it. J tube test pipes are the way to go. My friend 2c had FI hfc that made his SES light come on. He got GTM test pipes, that comes with a J tube, revved it a few times and the light went away.

Go with the GTM test pipes bro. Cant go wrong with the GTM lol

 

On the road, you can tell the smell is there but it is not as bad as you may think. My wife notices it, but my co workers do not. I've also stopped at signal lights sitting next to motorcycle cops (unintentionally of course) and passed. In this case, I think being in a sedan helps.

The worst is if you back into the garage where the fumes can't dissipate fast enough. Then it becomes a rush to get outta the garage after you open your car door.

For comparision, I had a mustang with no cats, headers and mufflers that exited under the car. This no where near that bad.

Noise would be more of an issue for me if I didn't have turbos to dampen the sound.

 

Does anyone have sound clips of a 07+ Sedan with Test Pipes? Preferably GTM?

 

I believe Terry is the only one to have them but his car has turbo. It will sound different on N/A.
I will be getting GTM resonated test pipes soon. I'll post up vids of the sound once i receive them.

 

True. Terrys car will definetly have a different sound. I was hoping for someone with a N/A car with an aftermarket exhaust. Defiently can't wait to here your car brother I was looking at FI TPs until you mentioned the GTM TPs in another thread. I didn't know GTM made TPs for our cars. So you decided to get resonated? I was thinking either resonated vs. non-resonated since we live in cali and if you get caught with TPs you get in the same amount of trouble. Sorry if this is a noob question but what is it about having resonated TPs that justify the extra cost
