test pipe?
I have a 01 civic ex with a cat-back exhaust, header, and intake, would putting a test pipe, make the car sound like crap or will it pretty much keep the same sound but just louder? is there any real hp gains? and last wheres the best place to get one from, like ebay or buy a hi-flow from a online performance store? thank you!

hp gains are gonna be so small you wont feel it, like 1hp best. I have a hi flow cat from dezod, its the random tech cat. it made my exhaust deeper during low RPM's but higher RPM's sound ricey which annoys me.

Test pipe = MIL ....... aka Malfunction Indicator lamp....... or CHECK ENGINE!
