Test pipes

As the day of my Evo X purchase grows closer, I've been doing my research for my first modifications. Obviously a new TBE is in order. When looking at a few different test pipes I noticed that a few companies mention that their "bent" test pipe doesn't knock against the drive shaft.

So my question is, do you guys with straight test pipes notice/see any evidence of said "knocking"?

Yeah, so would I. I'm just wondering if these claims that it does indeed knock against the driveshaft are true, or just a marketing scheme designed to make you buy their more expensive test pipe.

Weird, I have the Rexpeed test pipe and it fits perfect with zero rattles or noises.

Just looked at your site for the test pipe. Can't seem to find it for the X. How much is it?

Can't list it for legal reasons. Just give us a call, it's $240.
