anyone have any luck with any test pipes on a 06+ i heard we have problems because our o2 sensor is more sensitive?
anyone else know about this? it seems to be hit or miss but is there any one that is favored over another to not produce a CEL

I currently have a 63mm Invidia tp along with a greddy Ti-C single (70mm), would I benefit even more to go with a 70mm tp?

yes but in a recent mag i forget some tuner mag they did a test, they only gained 1 hp over a hfc from magnaflow so to me not worth it rather get a hfc and not the smell or illegality

Berk test pipe FTW. 7whp for me here before and after dyno. Awesome sound too. Don't get why people pay twice as much for the HFC. Its heavier, doesn't free up as much power, and if your really worried about planet earth then you should stick with the stock cat...

dont care about the planet, my friend has an ap2 with tp i couldnt stand the smell, i remember ready that you dont have the smell you are very lukcy i wish the one i drove in didn't otherwise i would get one.
hfc weighs half as much as the stock frees up some power, not as much as tp obviously, and keeps it legal.

I have the Megan test pipe and definitely felt a difference. I have a fouler in also so no CEL here.
I like it but with my Spugen exhaust it makes it a little bit raspy which I don't like. Also smells kinda strong, but I also kinda like the fuel smell.
It does make my exhaust tips get black real quick though which is a pain in the ass to keep clean.
Might try out the Berks HFC soon to see if that will help eliminate the rasp(no rasp with stock cat) and also lose the smell and not pollute.

t1r testpipe with a T1R cel fix and 2 anti-foulers. didn't get a CEL light yet on my 08. it made my dual greddy Ti-C a little louder, but there is less drone during 3-4000 rpm.

the car smells like autopia at disneyland, it doesn't really bother me yet

me too. curious to see if there's a test pipe out there that wont produce a CEL for an 06+. I had berk technology 70 mm test pipe w/ CEL fix but still got one? felt the difference in power, but the CEL just annoyed me so i took it off.
