What Test Pipe???

Right now I have A Espelir jgt500 exhaust and a perrin dp......Friday I'm planning on getting rid of my cat. What would you guys recommend? What brand? And which test pipe that will not cause my engine light warning to come on. I know w/out the cat it will be louder. Im trying to minimize the sound as much as i can. ? Do all brand of test pipe will cause the same sound quality?Thanks ...........

btw, all test pipes are the same........saw a titanium one for ~150 i think. I got the helix. Use spark plug anti-foul to space the rear O2 sensor out of the TP and u will not get CEL. Its ~$5 from autozone, checkers.....bore one of the 2 piece to 1/2". Comes in little red "help packages", get the 18mm one.

Yep just install the pipe and your done. Some said they had to extend the wires for the 02 sensor, but thats not needed. There is slack in the wiires for the 02 sensor, so all you have to do is gently pull on it until it reaches (not very much) and it works perfect. I have over 20K miles on it with 0 problems.
