Quality of test pipes

70X200 · 12-01-2014, 05:46 PM

Does anyone have any information on the various brands of Test pipes? My main concern, is there any information concerning the quality of one brand of pipe over the other. I can't see where one would be much different than the other. Any opinions? Any facts to back up those opinions?

Thanks!

I don't really see how they could be all that different. Other than if someone used cheap pipe, etc.

No facts or basis for comparison, but I have ESS test pipes and they've been great so far.

I have the ACM test pipes and they are great. All of the main vendors on the forums sell good quality test pipes. You really can't go wrong. I would just stay away from cheap ebay products.

From what I'm reading on here and saw several pics of test pipes , I saw that the clamps of Turner test pipes are better quality .

They are all pretty much the same. Get one from a forum vendor and they'll take care of you if you have any quality issues down the road.
