Anyone selling a test pipe/mid pipe?

Just looking for a test pipe, exhaust shop told me they'd do it for $50 or i can buy one online for $45...but i'd rather have something used for cheaper.

So, an exhaust shop told you that they would actually do a cat replacement pipe?

All the exhaust shops I've talked with referenced an EPA reg with a $10,000 fine for removing a cat, so they won't do it. If they'll do it, have them do it and point the cops their way if you get called on it. (keep your receipt) I think it's worth the $50.00 bucks.

Who's carl? i need to talk to him, i can get a test pipe online for $45 but still... $45 is a bit much in my oppinion if i had a welder i'd make one myself for $5.

Dam that makes me think how small is the town you live in $50. for a busted grill and maybe some broken bones isnt worth it where I come from..


I beilive if someone takes thier time and riskin it to make you a $50. part you dont rat them out.

I cant belive you said that

The reason i only want it for the main cat is because i've got a header that took out the first two... what i'm going to do is cut a pipe to the right length and buy to flanges and have a shop weld on the flanges... welding should only be $15.

But at least the Karma hit right away! Sometimes it's forever, and when it hits you you're like "hey! What'd *I* do??"
