    Stpuid questions -

    What are the differences between Straight Pipes, and Test Pipes?

    How do they compare to Tubi LM exhaust?

    What will a Hyperflow CAT system give me that a CAT bypass wont, and vise versa.

    And, why dont I know all these questions by now?



    Thanks,
    Jon

    Obviously, you do "know all of these questions by now" since you asked them! :D

    Straight pipes eliminate cats, mufflers and resonators(if any), and test pipes eliminate cats and usually provide a bung for the 02 sensors.

    The other questions; I have no answer, other than IMO they don't do much more than drain your wallet. Oh yeah, you may get a better sounding exhaust note, but it's a helluva price to pay for noise! ;)

    Hyperflow Cat will give you almost the same performance as the test pipe except without the fumes.

    Test pipe (a good one with bungs for O2 and Temp Sensor) = $220

    Hyperflow Performance Cat = $600/$800

    I'm surprised at what it costs for test pipes, I get the local muffler fabricator to make them for $80 a pop.
