You want to match the ID of the Test Pipe with the ID of your Header/Exhaust.

For your setup, a 60mm Test Pipe would be ideal.

yup, you don't wanna bottleneck your exhaust flow. If your catback is 60mm then get a 60mm test pipe. If it's 70mm get a 70mm testpipe.

it's only a bottleneck when the ID is reduced between the header collector flange, tp/cat and catback, in that order.

no bottleneck: 57mm -> 63mm -> 70mm
bottleneck: 57mm -> 70mm -> 63mm

that's retarded. a 70 mm testpipe isn't going to restrict a 63mm exhaust!

Yes, it will.

You would be going from around 67- 67.5mm ID to a 60mm ID. This is called a bottleneck.
