Which Test Pipes yield the most proven whp gain?
Hey fellas, I'm in the market for test pipes and I've got a really good deal on the GTM resonated test pipes. I'm wondering whhich TP has yield the highest dyno proven gain?
Also do the test pipes yield higher gains the the HFCs? I'm ready to pull the trigger on buying so if those with TPs chime in on their experiences that would be great. |

^^^ Actually, yes -- there is some evidence that the Art pipes make a little more power than regular test pipes -- but again, it's in 1-1.5% more range, and a lot more expensive so...

I see the Art pipes in the same league as the G3's: Yes, they do make a little more power than the less expensive alternatives (ebay TP's or brand name resonated and panel filtes+smooth tubes, respectively), but they are a LOT more expensive.
If you have deep pockets and want to squeeze every last possible hp out of the motor, then I say go for it. If not, the cheaper alternatives get you literally within a few whp at a fraction of the cost.
