Test pipe or Race pipe???

What do you think? I was set on the SU test pipe but I saw a post about the turboxs race pipe. They claim 30ftlb and 22hp gains... Let me know guys... thanks!
 
both the same diameter's, same bends it looks like, with the same flanges obviously and same material i think. (correct me if im wrong). s u works for me as it's cheaper

I like the SU service so far so im gonna get that but i was just wondering what the deal was with the race pipe. Its got a bend in it i believe. where as the test pipe is straight. I dont know how that works though when u install it in the car. One of them shouldnt fit if one is staright and one is bent......
 
The s u one is a straight pipe with a bend at the flange and the other one has a bend and a flex piece on it.

Makes sense now! I was wondering how the hell that would work.. I just ordered my test pipe from SU a few hours ago! The people there are bad ass! Thanks for your input though guys!
 
i just bought the S U Test pipe, im installing it tomorrow morning, im so excited, im just nervous for smoke i heard it smokes bad at idle, is that true?

ill post a sound clip tomorrow after noon, if you guys want..
 
i just got it a few weeks ago and no problems with smoking instalation took but 20 minutes

Thats good to hear! Did you need the rust breaker s***? What ever its called to break the bolts loose??

Sounds good man! I like it! I will install mine next week after my mounts r fixed! How long did it take u??


the garage i do all my mods at did it for me for free, it took them 30mins, they put the car on a lift, heated up the bolts, took off the cat and replaced it with the TP. then they just did some tests to see if it leaks or vibrates...

but it was done in no-time

i love this mod, the best HP gain for the price!
