You won't find anyone who has had both. Cars that can use the downpipe can't use the testpipe, and the same goes for the other way around. The testpipe won't give you much, if any gains, though. The power loss on the stock setup is about 70% from the design of the downpipe, and 30% from the cat.

and while I am at it, ya know, making an appearance in a thread about a test pipe, I might as well spout some hippy line about driving around with no cat. Unless of course you consider yourself a moron, then feel free to damage the air your kids will breath, ON PURPOSE.

so here it is: you shouldn't ride with no cat unless you are on the way to the track that extra pony or two you coax out of your car is not worth the damage to your lungs, or those of your neighbor, or the guy who drives passed your driveway ten minutes after you leave for work. don't be a moron.

It's a safety measure, Dan, keeps people from tailgating me.

I bet it does, it kept me from wanting to drive around the few weeks before I bought the HFCat from RRM. I won't do that again :blech:
