Does anyone have information on test pipes? I have LG long tube headers with high flow cats. I’m trying to go catless and LG told me to get test pipes. Does anyone know where to get these or is this something a local shop can make you? Thanks!

I believe you can get a local muffler shop to make these for you. Basically just a section of 2 1/2 or 3 inch pipe.

I remember 30-40 years ago you could buy them but I haven’t looked into recently.

LG said they have some at their shop but hasn’t responded to me asking how much and can I buy. LG actually told to get test pipes because I was asking for a catless x-pipe. Thanks for the info!

You can order their headers with or without cats…..they should have the parts you need, don’t chop up your system

High flow cars are robbing of a total of 4HP, while keeping the cabin from stinking of unburt fuel every time you have a tail wind.

Leave the Higher flow cats in play.
