Battle of the testpipes !

[teckk]

So we all know whats out there but ive been looking into the top 3 competitors so far which are the JHM , 034 & RAI testpipes.

And so i was trying to get an overall general idea as to if the difference in size is really gonna affect performance with them being so minimal.

034 is a flat 3" start to finish
JHM starts at 3.5 and goes down to a 3" and
RAI starts at 4" and tapers down to a 3"

So is there really that much of a difference in what you choose being that the K03 so small ?

[mec]

Nah. Go with what is more readily available. Or don't get a test pipe, wait to get a bigger turbo and then get a test pipe for that!

[teckk]

Well i mean im not planning on going anything bigger than a Ko4 or K0R so i wanted a testpipe that would be good for both the ko3 and whatever i choose in the future but my friend says 4" is overkill for a ko3

[vce1232000]

Id would have gone with one of these if I didn't[race] have my set up already.http://www.audizine.com/classifieds/showproduct.php?product=104554&title=rai-3-26quot-3b-downpipe-with-test-pipe-tip-quattro&cat=22

[rongeur]

For a sec i thought this could have been an interesting thread, then i realized it was just another "what should i get thread"

[mec]

I went 5" so I could get free flowing performance, I probably picked up around 40hp

[teckk]

For a sec i thought this could have been an interesting thread, then i realized it was just another "what should i get thread"

Honestly its more of a discussion thread , im pretty set on what i want i just wanted to see what others opinion on the subjecy may be since there are a couple of different testpipes to choose from this year so dont give up on it just yet haha

[teckk]

So much for jealous ex girlfriends stuffing a potatoe in your exhaust haha holy shit ! Got any sound clips or video ?

[derrek]

If you get a k04 you're going to need a new test pipe anyway.....

[mscottdemarco]

JHM or 034.. Their customer service is way better

[jsandor91]

If you get a k04 you're going to need a new test pipe anyway.....

unless he goes franken or k0r which bolt up to stock downpipe location i believe

[mec]

I want to see a fully tuned frankenturbo go at it with an s3 k04. or even just a k0r. I was blown out of the water by how good k04's are nowadays, I can't imagine the franken or the k0r is that much better.

These hybrid style turbo's made a lot more sense for people who wanted more power back i the b5/b6 era, because a k04 was really like adding 40 hp, so a hybrid would allow you to get way more out of the engine without having the rebuild, but honestly, the s3 k04 is right on the limit of rod snapping torque and power, I can't imagine that these hybrid turbos will even have 1/4 of the performance gap they used to have on teh k04.

[Operator]

Personal preference for me is the RAI TP. The funnel design, just seems to make more sense. And it will fit a K03, K04, K0R, Franken.......

[vvenom800tt]

I have an APR from the previous owner and i wish he had gotten something 3"

[kristokes]

I had a few different setups with high flow catalysts and test pipes back when I was stock turbo and I've always favored RAI's 4-3" test pipe.

True, the whole point of the F23L is that it will make more power than most K04s and only costs $1499. Versus APR's $4000 S3 kit.

[Hugh@EuropaParts]

Get a high flow cat Larry... there's a reason why there's a plethora of test pipes in the classifieds and not a single HFC.

[vvenom800tt]

My state doesnt have emissions testing. So ill save that $150 option and spend it on something else when the time comes.

I would vote for rai dp but since I and many others had rubbing issues its hard to recommend it.

Yeah, it's called emissions. Unless you have sniffer or visual inspection, there's no reason to buy a HFC.

I will be going 6 inch test and downpipe soon[drool]. There will be no back psi at all[up]. In fact I going to my neighborhood school bus parking lot and taking their exhaust off and[wrench] retrofitting on my Avant for that ultimately scavenging effect[facepalm]. So I can have the[drive] fastest and loudest A4 avant in my neighborhood. And that is no[poop]my friend[hail]

[Charles.waite]

No emissions testing? As in no sniffer? Or nothing at all? In Washington we have a OBD2 emissions testing, meaning if you're throwing a code for no Catalyst (Catalyst efficiency, P0420, etc) then you don't pass. Has nothing to do with the ACTUAL emissions out the tailpipe, it has to do with the ECU DETECTING too many emissions out the tailpipe. Fool the rear O2 sensor and you're fine...

I just think its nuts that states still don't have any form of emissions testing these days. I get it for cars older than 30 years but for any car built in the era of catalytic converters they should be doing some amount of testing I feel...

[Jake@JHM]

You can't go wrong with our test pipe. They are in stock and ready to ship and guaranteed OEM like fitment. Plus our J-bung will prevent you from having a CEL for not having a cat. (if you tuning doesn't remove it)

Let me know if you have any questions!

Your test pipe looks awesome bro but I was kinda wondering how you judged what the prices of your new tp & hfc would be as compared to what was already on the market.

[Jake@JHM]

Cost of labor, materials, they are always in stock, and they are guaranteed to fit. Not to mention ours comes with a J-bung and hardware kit with a custom gasket. (stuff that is normally not included with the price of a test pipe). Additionally, our test pipe is not choked at the flange like others on the market are.

Jake

[LINDW4LL]

The fact is if you have a K03 or even a K04, any 2.5" downpipe will provide beyond sufficient flow. 034 uses a 3.5" downpipe for their 2.7L Single Turbo kit and people have made over 700whp. Most people here will never even be making 1/3 of that.


So that being said, get whatever you can find for cheap. No reason to spend ridiculous amounts on a 4" downpipe.

Haha the difference between the the top 2 are like $10 and even if you went w/ 034 its like $60 cheaper so you could pretty much put them all in the same price range. So it really comes down to the technical things like customer service & build quality.

I could see those all being potential factors i just found it kinda funny how close you guys were to your competitors prices which makes your new customers really have to decide which one they would want more.

BTW my two next question would be would your gaskets fit on other test pipes due to the way that they're made ? And is there a possible chance of a group buy ?

[Charles.waite]

The one largest reason NOT to go with RAI.

[Hugh@EuropaParts]

Test pipes are all a simple piece of pipe that has been bent in a certain angle.... there's not much science behind them at all. Brand A's test pipe will not yield you different gains than Brand B's test pipe.

A straw is a straw... it's hollow and air (exhaust gases) travel through it.

[wildcat333]

I think Axis is still looking for an RAI pipe

There will most likely not be a group buy, but any Test Pipe that utilizes the OEM flange pattern will be able to use our gasket kit!

Hey everyone!

Finally, a no-compromise, performance-first 3" Test Pipe and High Flow Cat for the B7-A4 2.0T!!! If you are looking to get the most performance out of your stock turbo B7-A4 2.0T, this is the test pipe/HFC that you need!

http://www.jhmotorsports.com/products/pictures/B7A4/JHM-B7-A4-20T-Catless-Test-Pipe-turbo-flange-detail.jpg

This is the same Test Pipe that we ran in our JHM 2.0T when we set the fastest stock turbo quarter mile record: 13.38 seconds at 100.3 mph! (see video below)


http://youtu.be/mbVOHMNRSnA

INFORMATION ON THE B7-A4 2.0T EXHAUST SYSTEM:

After the turbo on the B7-A4 2.0T there are 3 different components in the exhaust system:

- TEST PIPE or CAT PIPE (OEM Cat Pipe): This pipe is the shortest section of the exhaust system and can be seen from the top of the car. It attaches to the turbo outlet and in stock form, contains the OEM Catalytic Converter. There are two oxygen sensors located on this pipe - one right after the turbo outlet and one after cat. After the cat, this pipe bends down to connect to the next part of the exhaust system, the CAT-BACK which includes the DOWNPIPE and the REAR EXHAUST.
CAT-BACK:

- DOWNPIPE: This section of the exhaust attaches to the cat pipe and runs down from that connection over the CV shaft then under the passenger side of the transmission cross-member. In the stock formation, it connects to the REAR EXHAUST via a slip fit clamp where the end of the DOWNPIPE slips over the REAR EXHAUST. (Stay tuned for our JHM Downpipe-Y Adapter to mate to a B6-B7 S4 Catback!)

- REAR EXHAUST: This final piece of the exhaust system is connected to the back of the DOWNPIPE and in the stock configuration splits into two pipes after exiting a resonator. After the resonator, the pipes continue to go apart and then lead into a muffler on each side. At the exit of the muffler, the REAR EXHAUST ends with the tips that you can see at the back of your car. Sometimes this section of the exhaust is mistakenly called the "cat-back". On the B7-A4 2.0T, a cat-back exhaust would replace BOTH the DOWNPIPE and the REAR EXHAUST sections. Most quality exhaust manufacturers sell true "cat-back" exhausts that will bolt up to your OEM cat-pipe or your test pipe. However, we have found that a number of manufacturers making exhaust products for the B7-A4 2.0T will market a rear exhaust system as a cat-back. Use this information to make sure you know what exhaust components you are replacing.

THE JHM DIFFERENCE:

The JHM B7-A4 2.0T 3" Test Pipe/HFC starts with nearly a 3 and a half inch opening at the turbo outlet! The outlet on the stock K03 turbo is 3.15 inches, so if we were to go with only a 3" inch opening on the pipe, we'd already be choking off the turbo! We opened up our pipe to the OEM Turbo to Cat Pipe gasket size which is actually slightly bigger than the OEM catalytic converter inlet.

http://www.jhmotorsports.com/products/pictures/B7A4/JHM-B7-A4-20T-Catless-Test-Pipe-turbo-flange-detail-1.jpg

We also give our test pipe the largest downpipe connection possible while still maintaining strength in the connecting flange. This pipe is NOT like other test pipes out there which can neck down to the stock downpipe flange size. We make our outlet piping size as close to 3" as possible while still allowing it to hook up to whatever downpipe setup you currently have on your car. This leaves you room to grow into more powerful exhaust setups or just hook to your current stock downpipe. We maintain the stock bolt pattern but manufacture a custom flange that is opened up to receive our nearly 3" piping. Though this method **slightly** limits the size of pipe we can run at the outlet, we decided to put our piping inside the flange because it's a stronger way to build the flange connection while still allowing the test pipe/HFC to bolt up to both stock and other downpipes on the market.

http://www.jhmotorsports.com/products/pictures/B7A4/JHM-B7-A4-20T-Test-Pipe-TP-to-DP-flange.jpg

The catalytic converter used in the JHM Cat Pipe is a high-quality, 300-cell, high-flow race cat. We locate it as far away from the turbo outlet as possible. While this made it a more difficult piece to fabricate and produce, we felt that it was the only way to do it since putting a restriction right against the back of the turbo would restrict airflow

Finally, our Test Pipe/HFC features a J-bung for the secondary oxygen sensor. We've been working with several different configurations on this piece to get just the right setup for the B7-A4 2.0T. With our J-bung, not only will you be Check Engine Light free (for catalyst efficiency codes), but because of the way we've located it on the pipe, you'll also have easy access to the secondary oxygen should you ever need to replace it!

http://www.jhmotorsports.com/products/pictures/B7A4/JHM-B7-A4-20T-Test-or-cat-Pipe-j-bung-detail.jpg

For those customers interested upgrading to our JHM 3" Test Pipe/HFC who already have a larger downpipe (or are looking to buy our JHM Y-Adapter) we offer a no compromise gasket and hardware kit. When replacing your OEM cat-pipe with our JHM Test Pipe, you'll most likely need to replace the gasket at the cat-pipe to downpipe connection. Most companies just provide a stock gasket for this connection which has an inner diameter of 2.3". Not only is the JHM gasket that we include in our hardware kit made out of aluminum but it also features an inner diameter of 2.8" - the largest possible diameter while still maintaining the stock bolt pattern. To purchase this hardware kit, please go back one section and add the item to your cart. You can also search for "JHM 2.0T Hardware Kit" in the search box on the top, right-hand corner on any page on our website.

Haha! Are you in the process of doing all of this.. at this hour?

Attempting....It took me two hours just to get the transmission under the car, the jack under the car, and then manage to lift up the transmission rotate it 90* (there is no room under there), get it onto the jack(trust me this was way more harder than just putting it on).
Now..I have the jack in position, the transmission is on, and now the input shaft doesn't want to go in the pilot bearing....But I'm working on it...., Gotta get the transmission mounted atleast.
