I bought a Corksport testpipe afterdoing alot of research and from what I heard it is a great testpipe that should match up fine to stock everything. :)

(I then caved in for a CP-E downpipe with high flow cat so I never got to use it lol) but if I was going for just the TP, I'd go corksport personally.

Brand is just about irrelevant. Quality is. Make sure you get a good high quality stainless product with good attachment flanges on each end with the proper hardware.

It may be more important to think in terms of whether you want to upgrade the downpipe later. If so, think about what downpipe you might purchase and get the matching test pipe so that fit will be optimal. In theory, all good ones will work with either the stock downpipe or an aftermarket one.

It also may be important to consider getting one with a flex fitting built in, as that will ease installation, reduce the risk of misalignment (and leaks) and make it easy later if you do go with a downpipe. The TurboXS race pipe does have the flex fitting.

If you get one of our CorkSport pipes check out Chambly Mazda in Chambly QC to make the purchase. They are a mod friendly dealership and will install the part if you need.

Corksport. Without question. Retains the factory hangar design and is a real quality piece. I hear tell that the TurboXS has been known to just fall off. Never seen it in person or heard of it from locals. Just online, by word of mouth.
 
Retaining the stock flanges is nearly irrelevent with a catless TP. This is because an aftemarket test pipe weighs significantly less than the factory catted testpipe. Go with the eBay or Corksport, either will do just fine. I have the eBay one, let me know if you have any questions...
