Whether it be a more cost effective manufacturing process or a less involved R&D process, I wouldn't worry about test pipes being a name brand - it's a foot long pipe with two flanges. As long as it fits and is made of quality material it will serve its purpose.
exactly, that's why it's driving me so crazy lol.

Top Speed probably took a competitors test pipe and created a jig to copy it. Boom, zero R&D and the same end result at a cheaper price.

They are 2 pipes. You can't really say who "copies" whom. There's really no other way to bend 2 pipes lol.
