To test pipe or not to test pipe?
OK so i want a test pipe, but worried that it will be ridiculously louder. Any input would be good. Any opinions on this also would be good. Thanks guys

do it. it'll be fine

or you can get a HFC. little more power and noise over stock, but not as much as a test pipe...but it'll be quieter than a test pipe

If worried about noise get a mini muffler test pipe from UR. It will keep noise down and flows much better than any cat.

I agree with those above me if your only concern is the noise go with a resonator or mini muffler no power restriction and it will quiet things down.
