2 questions: 1)What are "tp's" and 2) what is "yellow crap on bumper"?

There will certainly be a big difference in sound from OEM if that's what you mean. It certainly won't sound like a Civic!

Yes. Especially if you are running rich with test pipes...it's awful.

LOL, never had this happen on my bikes..........think I'll keep the HFC's on my Z

I figure running rich will make for the "soot look" behind the car. Where does the yellow come from? I'd imagine all the emissions gasses that a CAT is supposed to break down...
