thanks bro, im gonna try finding something hopefully by this week and ordering it.

 

I dont know where the bolt holes are for reference but when you mount an o2 bung it should be in the 10-2 o'clockish position, If it's on the bottom (where it would be easy to access) the sensor could be contaminated with moisture/condensation and such, so they say. If all the car engineers designed it that way I'm sure they did it for a reason too.

 

i prefer to stay away from extended 02 bung attachment. im still searching

 

I have a megan 3" with 02 bung if you want it. Let me know.
Has 2-bolt flange on either side.

 

any other recommendations? im still trying to figure out which i will get.....

 

Question. What are you exactly considering between your choices?
Its a straight stainless steel pipe, 3" in diameter, has flanges on both ends... with an 02 port.... does it fit? if the answer is yes, why does it matter which one you go with besides cost? (cost is why you buy things used)

I'm just curious on how a very simple piece of equiptment causes so much consideration

 

well obviously some are made better then others.... some are ACTUAL 3 inch in diameter and some claim to be but are really not. as well as some only work with their own brand... thats why im asking, damn near every company makes a test pipe for an evolution, but like everything else you want to review a product of its quality before you buy it no ???

Why is it with you Newbs on this forum , you always seem to have a smart *** comment???

 

a) it wasn't a smart *** comment
b) I'm not a noob

It was an honest question because the product is very very simple. If you have a ACTUAL 3in pipe and decent welds, there are no benefits between ANY.... Normally such consideration is put forth on more technical parts

 

a pipe is a pipe, simple as that. it's not hard for anyone to make a circle-weld with a machine.

pretty much any place you buy this from will function just fine, especially if it doesn't see snow/salt in the winter

 

I have a Greddy TI exhaust mated to a STM test pipe. It's a full 3 inch testpipe and it's very good quality.

 

the actual flange where the testpipe connects to the greddy catback (straight pipe) isn't 3.15 it's 3 inches, however after that it opens up to 3.15.

 

Seems to me it was a smart *** comment ..... and Once again companies claim to have 3 inch Test pipes but they really arent. Why would i want to waste money on this " simple" mod if it just does the same thing my current UR brand 3 inch is doing which is not fitting correctly with my current set up and making my car run half ***?? thats why the thread was made.

If you dont like the thread simply dont comment


i agree, but as i said to the cool guy who commented before you, why would i purchase something that doesnt fit my set up correctly ???

thats good hear i think i might look into an STM TP, so everything fits and performs good no problems ? was the 02 sensor easily able to connect to the 02 bung?

 

Hey.

After seeing this thread, I measured a one of our STM Stainless Test Pipes last week before shipping one out.

The inside diameter of the Test Pipe was just slightly over 2 and 7/8th inches. Almost 3" but not 100% there.

oh geez... and i just ordered one..... well according to another member here, he claims the 3 inch test pipe that you guys make actually fits his Greddy TI. i'll give it a gamble. i hope it works out

 

You shouldn't have any fitment issues with a Greddy System. The Flanges themselves are a Full 3" ID, so it should mate up to any Cat Back and Downpipe that use 2 bolt Exhaust flanges ( like the Greddy does ) without an issue.
