So after waiting for over a month now for the T1R testpipe, T1R got back to me that it will be another month for their testpipe to arrive plus shipping. I am having the car tuned at the end of July. I need to have the test pipe ASAP so I can have everything installed on the car.

Mods:
AMS Widemouth Downpipe
Testpipe - ?????????
T1R Sparrow 76s Exhaust

Criteria:
1.) Must be Stainless Steel
2.) Must be resonated or catted (resonated preferred)
3.) Must be 3" OD

Pipes:

CP-E Catted $299


Specialy-X Resonated $275


UR Resonated $250


UR Min-imuffler $275


Any other choices?

I have the UR resonated test pipe with my T1R catback. It sounds great, and the UR piece is great quality.

I don't think it'll make that big of difference between other vendors test pipes, as long as you get what you want

I have the resonated test pipe and it def changed the exhaust note a bit

They all do the exact same thing and they're all stainless. Get the one that fits your preferences that's the least expensive.

Easy answer to this one, just get the AMS straight downpipe, $199. What are you trying to accomplish? Quiet tone, smog legal? I've got the T1R O2 DP / AMS TP/ T1R Sparrow 76s and it's great. Nice growl but very very quiet even with the straight tp. The only downside is that you'll fail a sniffer test. Some states dont even require sniffers on newer vehicles anyways though.

Since you have the AMS O2/Downpipe, why not get their HFC or test pipe? The difference in power gains between the HFC and test pipe are minimal, while of course the sound difference is not.

Do you have a clip of your car how it sounds. I am worried about going that route and it being too loud. I want the car to basically sound very stock during normal driving, maybe a little growl and open up under hard acceleration a bit.

How much louder did you car get with this setup? Does it drone at highway speed? Does it sound raspy at all?

I would hop on the UR resonated. It is the cheapest and it has the built in defouler so you won't get a CEL. Food for thought.

I decided to go with the MXP resonated testpipe about 198 shipped. Looks very close in design to UR, etc...



Just need to get a 90 degree antifowler from Touge Factory.

Quality looks good, maybe better than UR, a bit of cleaner resonator install. It's pretty much a pipe, all will function the same.

Thanks for the help all.

UR has extended bung so no cells
