RE: Test Pipe

I see why everyone should need cats but a good high flow costs about or over $100 more than an ebay test pipe so I just can't justify spending that much one something that will make my car lose power. Also since I have nitrous if I miss a shift and pour too much raw fuel through my exhaust it will end up clogging or ruining the expensive cat,also I don't have emissions tests and my testpipelooks like a cat so I can pass a "visual inspection" that a cop might want to give me, I don't have a CEL and my wideband gauge o2 sensor is plugged into the test pipe which makes it look like my secondary is plugged into acatso test pipe is just the all around better option for me.

IMO you have a good reason to use a test pipe though (since you have nitrous and could easily ruin the cat).
