I'm sure every muffler shop has the exact same thing or will take 15 mins to make. What's special about this test pipe?

it will flame up if you gut both converters. it actually sounds pretty nice when you gut the main converter as long as you have a decent Y pipe setup. it barely affects the 5-6 ports.
