i reccomend to get your a/f ratio checked if u dont have some sort of monitoring system already which most of u probably do about 50 miles after test pipes installed. go to nissan and get a tech to drive with you with the cunsult 3 to check your alphas. mine was rich as hell, it may have changed if i kept them on longer. they really did sound awful. i was pissed.

I know this thread is a little dated, but were the test pipes installed with an otherwise stock exhaust?
Surprised it would sound like crap just from removing the cats which act like resonators. I'd think with plenty of other resonator/muffler in the exhaust to smooth out the tone, it would only be louder.
