Do they have extended bungs or 90° defoulers for O2 sensors?

Then you must be one of the lucky ones. Are they resonated or non-resonated pipes?

Ah maybe.. I've been running washer mod for the longest time haha! They are non-resonated and raspy at 2k rpm.. sounds ugly, but anything after that is music!

How likely would this ebay test pipe trigger CEL? for less than $150 It's a deal. I'm just not ready to get a tune, that's why I'm asking

Most likely they will cause the CEL eventually. Might not within a week, but it will

That will most likely cause a cel unless you have extended bungs and steel wool. I had a cel with HFCs before I got a tune. Also I'm not sure I would trust ebay test pipes. Better off going used or new for around 200. They get really hot and the welds have to be good and the angle has to be right on or it will affect your exhaust fitment.

that looks like it's longer than the usual TP bungs, no? I want to get UpRev, but it's $700! I could get so many different things with that, lol. It's not a priority right now especially since I don't have too many bolt-ons

I would be more worried about fitment issues than I would throwing a CEL. Anything Ebay is always a gamble.

Its got the L-extensions so a CEL may not happen. If so a bit of steel wool will clear that right up. I'd also be worried about fitment and them cracking.

They look like Top Speed. Proven to fit with no issues and only $126 from them off eBay. Not everything sold there is bad.

FYI OP already said their raspy at 2k so he has them installed so I don't understand all the comments about fitting. It's already on.

I agree, not everything on ebay is bad. It just comes with a bit of risk. I can't really take the chance right now so I'm gonna put this TP at the end of my list. Thanks for the comments guys
