Just curious if anyone has bought this test pipe? I'm assuming it does it's just just kinda checking if it fits well or not.

It's a pipe with 2 flanges and an O2 bung...what's so special about it? Personally I would just get it done at an exhaust shop so you don't have to worry about fitment issues and you get it made just how you like.

Reason I don't want to get it done at an exhaust shop is that there is no way that they would do that work for $30 lol. I was just seeing if anyone has bought one from them before.
Why would they send a resonator instead of a test pipe, test pipes would be cheaper to manufacture anyway.

A chrome finished test pipe? That is one of the gayest things I have every heard of. Just in case the inspection guy lookes under there, he can check his morning shave?
A test pipe is a test pipe. Depending on where you go you could easily get it made for 30 bucks. Two flanges, a section of pipe, welded with one about 30 degrees off from the other.

Most will do the measurements and the creation of the test pipe but they will not install it for you.

everybody loves cash and no recipts }( $30 and no questions got me mine
and no that test pipe wont fit without modifing the angles of the flanges. ours are not matched from end to end, like ^^^ said bout 30* off center.
best is to just get 2 flanges and a pipe then put the flanges on the pipe. bolt it up and tack weld it. un bolt it and weld it up real nice so you can go play

ebay test pipes are a no-no, I used one for about a month before I bought a real high flowing catalatic converter, it was an ebay one that looked just like that, well it was a piece of shit. And the gaskets that came with it were all smashed up, f that!
