Re: test pipes

OK, just so you are clear, the test pipe is a direct replacement for the cat. It takes hte place in the exhaust that the stock cat would occupy. It is officially illegal for street use and you will fail emissions with it. That outta the way..it's a great/cheap mod.
You're car will sound better, not ricey. You wont lose bottom end or gas mileage...and you probably will pick up a few hp. I have a full downpipe that replaces the cat, so I had no need for a test pipe, but it is a good mod, and those with one will tell you the same.

Your 1996 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR-4 is the 92nd out of the 315 that were made that year. Only 21 of which are exactly identical.
