If you are looking to reduce the exhaust noise, get a resonated test pipe. I got one from Megan and it actually works. If you're not interested in reducing noise, never mind!

I like my Megan resonated test pipe. Any TP will do however, just make sure it is a 2 bolt flange.

Any test pipe will bolt up. If it is a 3' flange pipe,and using factory DP and mid, you will need to use OEM gaskets because 3" gaskets are just a hair too big.

Good Luck.

You can get the downpipe with a built in test pipe, gut the cat.

I just made my own with some stainless 3" pipe I has laying around and a pair of 2 bolt flanges. Cost me about 10 bucks.

I have a megan and a turbo XS. Turbo is on right now, I got the Megan for free. I might put it on since it's resonated.
