Difference in test pipe brands?

Any difference in quality in test pipe brands? I see Rogue ones can be had for around 250, MS or turner are 400.

Any reason to pay the extra 150?

thanks

I have the Rogue ones. I don't see why any of the others should be over $150 more.

If I had to do it over I would get AA test pipes. I like the fact that they "slip" over the stock X-pipe section, also they use the factory support bracket.

Just curious, are you keeping your primary cats so you can swap them back in at a later date?

if u buy the AA test pipes only, you have to cut primary cats off. so they would need to be welded back on if u decide to reinstall them. Keep in mind AA test pipes not compatible with their x-pipe. Must buy as a set, different connection depending on if bought as xpipe set up or just test pipes alone....
