Who has a test pipe?

Do many of you guys(girls) have testpipes instead of high flow cats? Anyone know the hp gains between a testpipe and a high flow?

testpipe = midpipe. Run a few searches - you'll find the midpipe and high flow cat both see hp gains, the midpipe a little more so. IIRC the midpipe performs better at the higher end, if you haven't died from the noxious fumes.

A search yielded this recent thread, and many more I didn't read. https://www.rx7club.com/showthread.p...pipe+high+flow

Actually, I'd say it's the opposite - high flow cats are more in the minority. Most people either run a midpipe or a resonated midpipe, or the stock cat.
