Get a 60mm if you don't plan on upgrading to a 70mm. If you are gonna go with a 70mm exhaust, get the 70mm test pipe. Its best to keep all pipes in the exhaust system the same diameter to reduce turbulence.

Good choice, thats a good 2.5" test pipe... goes perfect with the stock exhaust.

Your question doesnt make any sense.

Try again later???

A test Pipe is just a normal peice of exhaust pipe that bolts in place of the cat (also reffered to as de-cating the car) when done properly there should be no CEL

Just like a test pipe a hiflow cat shouldnt set of a CEL either (but are not worth the $$$ IMO )

Now for sizing, just match to the catback so if stock catback 60mm is best

getting a CEL after installing a TP is fairly common. The best way to get rid of it is by installing an antifouler or two. These can be picked up at an autozone for pretty cheap. I used the Blox CEL fix from inlinefour.com and it worked like magic on my 06, which are very finicky with TPs.
