(3) The test pipes appear to be heavier than the HFCs. Is this right? The test pipes are the pipes minus the extra hardware as I understand it.

(4) Can anybody comment on the FI exhaust volume without resonators vs 12" vs 18" vs stock Nismo? Any of the above would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance... decisions, decisions!
(1) Yes. They all have the same cats.

(2) Not too sure on this one, but I remember Tony told me it's for tuning. More cells gives you extra band.

(3) Test pipes shouldn't be heavier than HFCs coz they are just straght pipes.

(4) If 10 being the loudest and 0 being no volume at all: FI CBE = 9, stock Nismo = 0. Naw... just kidding. Stock Nismo = 5. Resonateors and non-resonateors are no big deals IMO. It's just used to cancel out the in cabin drone.
