#39376, "How about another testpipe question?"




          

I know a gst catback will fit our cars, but will a testpipe made for a gst fit the stock piping on our cars?

The GS-T has the same pipe diameter as the GS/RS(2.25in)....so as far as diameter is concerned it will work. Actually, I run a 2.5in testpipe and it fits ok - the 2.25 one would probably fit better. As far as using one "designed" for one or the other - you only have to worry about that if the flanges are welded to the test pipe. I got my test pipe from testpipe.com - and the flanges float. You can turn the flange to mount them at whatever angle you want. I'm not 100% sure, but I think the cat flanges are the same SIZE on the GS-T and GS/RS models, I have no idea if the flange angles are the same. So if the flanges are welded - I'm not sure if it'll work. If the flanges are floating - it should work just fine.

it will not, i bought a test pipe from extreme for a gst, the flanges didnt line up, flanges on a gst are straight, GS and RS have one straight, one angled, so i took it back and they sold me a highflow cat with the flanes welded the right way for less that usual, i am dumb, i should have told them that it was for a gs or rs to begin with!

Boostless and loving it!
Way to many mods to list!

How much does a test pipe help when you have a Stock Exhaust?

with stock exhuast u *coulc* see anywhere from 3-10hp witha aftermarket exhaust it should be better

You can have it cheap, fast or good. Pick any two.

If you want it cheap and fast, it's not going to be good.

Maybe I should have started this post with "a guy I know asked....." but I wanted to keep it short.

He has a rear section but his exhaust is stock other than that. I told him to get a custom exhaust and keep his muffler. He just wants a testpipe instead.
