Test pipe Questions??

06 IX MR
I found a few Test pipes and was wondering would it be worth it to buy 1 or would it be easier/cheaper to just make 1 like i did my catback?
I saw the same power gain out of my custom catback as my friend did with his Apexi so should i just continue to the custom exhaust through to the test pipe?
**Dont worry i will be buying the header and down-pipe not making them.....

test pipes are pretty cheap as-is, so if you don't want to be bothered with doing all the work yourself i would just buy one...

+1

I paid $70 for a brand new Megan one. Fairly quiet for a test pipe too.

Make it or buy it is your choice. Either choice is as good.

Check for for sale section here they go as low as 40.00 shipped. 50 shipped is average price on here for a low-end megan one.

The sound difference is weather or not they are resonated. I say go resonated, there loud enough as is.
