I'm sure the straight pipe is a big part of it but you can only push out as much as you take in. Since the UICP was a bottleneck and the BOV was leaking, the test pipe was virtually doing nothing at that point. Now that you are pushing more boost through smoother pipe transitions the test pipe is allowing the exaust to get out that much faster. I'm curious just how much of a difference it made. Throw your cat back on for a few days and then go back to the test pipe and report back to us.
Did you listen to Uncle Tony and put the cat back on? I would like to know the results as well.
