Does anyone know where I can buy an unresonated 3 inch test pipe? It seems I can only find 2.5-inch test pipes. I know I can still use a 2.5-inch T.P. with a 3-inch exhaust pipe, but a 3-inch T.P. will perform better with it. I know 2 people with S2K's who have gained alot of power by going with a custom single 3 inch exhaust and test pipe. Thanks.

No shop worth it's license would remove a cat converter from a street car, or install a test pipe on a street car. You will have to do it your self or get a shop willing to risk a huge fine $$$$$$$$ to do it for you.

Guys, forget about trying to fool the ECU electronically. Go to the auto store, but a set of spark plug foulers (2 to a pack), ream one out 'til the o2 probe fits in. Connect both foulers to your o2 bung. Connect your o2 sensor. Finished.
It'll take all of about 10 minutes and $4. It really is that simple

well if you want a do-it-yourself kinda job, just take the stock cat and bore the sucker out w/ a drill. sounds ghetto to some but trust me it'll take a while w/ an average drill/bit but it's worth it. air flow is air flow

The ony pic i have of it is of the entire exhaust from a for-sale thread. I englarged it and zoomed in on the 02sensor fix, but the quality of the pic isn't very good. Hope it helps.
