If you want to save sum money. Gut out your[wrench] old cat converter. Same effect as test pipe with visual converter of you have emission testing in your state[up]. Spend your money on another [drive] mod

Get the 034 hfc and call it a day. No cel or bad smell and you'll still be able to pass emissions.

I bought a test pipe and ordered a HFC two days after the test pipe was installed. Go 034 HFC and don't look back.

You don't have to be behind it to smell it. You just have to be in it.

why is everybody hating on test pipes strictly because of the sound? what are you coupling the test pipe with for it to sound that ricey? IMO not all test pipes sounds shitty.
also, if you you're trying to get the best "bang for the buck" test pipes are the bees neez
good > better > best
OEM > HFC > TP

I have an APR test pipe on right now and have no complaints. Sure you can smell it here and there but its not so terrible that i have a HFC on the way.
Had many people drive and ride in my car no has said anything about it smelling bad. It's just when you walk behind the car while its running you can really smell it.
Sure it doesnt sound the best but its not bad. But i still have my stock exhaust on too.
Hope that helps.

it just makes my car exhaust smell like my motorcycle. big deal. A test pipe still flows better than a hfc. And I have a rai downpipe and it fits great. Did you actually buy one from them axis?

I had 034 with no cat. Never noticed a bad smell or anything.
^^ My friend had one and he replaced it for an HFC because the smell was terrible when stopped at red lights. Never had one myself, had an 034 on my BAT B6 and now I run a 300cell vibrant HFC.

There's a link in my signature, click it. If you're browsing on tapatalk check the project section and check my turboback build thread. About the flow, all you want to do is get rid of the bottle neck of the oem cat, I doubt you can see the difference between an hfc and a test pipe on a K03.
