You like Check Engine Lights?
You like being the loudest, most annoying, and obnoxious thing driving down the street?
You like your Infiniti G37S sounding riced out?

If you answered YES more than ZERO times, get test pipes.

So you get more gains from test pipe, but you will never pass smog, and everytime you come to a stop light you'll smell gas reaking up the car.
Can you realy smell a difference at a stop light?

i took the cats off my SUV long time ago.. it sounded very riced out.. i mean it was loud just not the nice loud tone.. it actually sounded like i went over a rock that broke my exhaust pipes :S and every morning when ur warming up your car, you can smell something abnormal. At a stop light, well lets just say i avoided putting my windows down

i noticed fast intensions has resonated test pipes.. anyone have any personal experience with those and how well the resonators suppress most of the sound making those test pipes worthwhile??

thanks for the reply.. before i moved on to infinitis, all my cars have never had any cats or resonators and ive never noticed any kind of smells.. i mean other than light gas fumes, if i happen to stand behind the car or something.. but just the fact that its a luxury performance car is what makes you keep the balance with mods. so i guess HFC's are the way to go. but i would hope to have someone local with resonated test pipes so i can check out the difference in person.
