Test Pipe Recommendations?

NotCasey · 05-02-2023, 11:48 AM

Hey everyone, fairly new to modifying the e9x platform. I bought my car in august and have been working through maitenance on the car ever since (rb, ta, etc). I’m looking to do test pipes, I just picked up a corsa rear and I think test pipes would be the perfect volume for what I’m looking for without the smell. What test pipes do you all reccomend? I’ve been eyeing up some AA, Evolve, and Macht Schnell tp’s as they look to have the nicest fitment and are least prone to leak. I’m leaning more towards AA and MS due to them being tried and true but any help would be appreciated.

AA. Follow the instructions and the fitment is dead on. It also has a little ear for it to be mounted up onto the original brace to secure it in place.

You’ve just solidified my decision to go AA, they look to be the nicest quality for the best price. I watched a diy on it and it looks very straight forward, thanks for the suggestion!

Just did this recently. Word of advice, have a friend help you and pull the mid pipe completely off. I did it under my car alone without removing the mid pipe and it sucked. A lot of F bombs exchanged between me and my car. Doable, but not fun.

No issues with my rogue engineering tp either.
After 5 years with test pipes on. I would want to go with welded on Gesi cat's for my primaries.
Only because I still want my loud set up without the smell.
