Header Wrap on Test Pipes

I disagree, different material and thickness, combined with bend placement and weld quality, changes the way they sound.

They're all 304 SS 16 gauge. A weld isn't going to change anything. If it did FI would sound like **** being tack welded on the outside with the gaps in between.

Are you sure of this?
I have heard many different TP with the same exhaust and you can tell a very good difference, especially the lower RPM range. Metal is metal, but some companies cheap out on certain parts and "claim" certain materials while also blending & mixing other things in.

I would agree that if 2-3 companies all made TP with the exact same supply of material it should sound the same but there are differences between TP.

Positive. I've had everything and all are 304ss from china to usa. While the metallurgy might not have the exact same tolerances, its close enough that it isn't going to do anything and all 100% not magnetic. I've also cut almost all of them making my own setup, adding cut outs etc. they're 16 gauge 100% of the time. Only OEM uses 18 gauge from subi, to nissan, to mercedes.

If you've heard a difference I'd get your ears checked. 20 inches of pipe all the way at the front of a motor and exhaust setup isn't going to be able to tell anything, again while they're all 304ss 16 gauge. People that think like this also have a butt dyno that thinks everything adds 10hp and they can feel it without a doubt haha. Nonsense.
