Test Pipe Break in Question??

[back2boost]

Well the headline pretty much says it all... someone in an earlier post said that the TP will break in. I have had it on my car for almost a week... my question is how can a straight pipe break in? There is nothing inside it?? Any info is appreciated.

Thanks [up]

This is a good question. I would like to know as well, LOL.

i dont know how, but believe me is going to break in, is gonna get louder, specially in the mornings....

well when the car is cold the sound is different... that i uderstand... i just don't understand how a hollow pipe can break in???

Not sure if the pipe needs break in. but the ECU might need time to adjust to the "lesser" back pressure as result of replacing the cat. then again I don't know for sure.

Ok then... has anyone noticed a difference from the day they got their TP?? Also i have the APR chip of which they have added the TP program... so as far as my ECU it is fully aware that i have a the APR Test Pipe. If you have noticed a difference in the TP what have they been?

Thank you

I have the same setup as you plus full exhaust.

I had the TP for almost a week before i got chipped and did not notice any difference in noise or performance over that timespan.

Needless to say, after i got chipped on Saturday, i noticed a significant performance gain [:D].
