Default Ecode testpipe...

I was going to go with the APR pipe but there is a group buy on that other damn forum through 400hpa4 for the ecode at $159 shipped if only 1 person buys in.

This is going on the stock pipes (for now) and I have the apr cat delete coding. Should I bite the bullet and just buy the APR or go with the deal of the century...

Sounds like an exhaust, looks like an exhaust, and out-performs an exhaust.....all for less than 1/2 the price.

Default with the ecode test pipe...

do you just take it off every time its in the shop for work and or inspection since its not exactly street legal?

also, i know the test pipe is bolted, but is the cat. also just bolted on?

for the price - 269 - it seems like this would be a quick cheap mod everyone would do if it was easy enough, no?

Kind of a pain to install on the TIP tranny. And the price is currently $159 through the group buy.

either one will get you what you want. APR has a more expensive design but both are fine.
