I have a honda civic hatchback cx with a d series motor and im going to buy this new header mines starting to get pretty rusted. Its a DC sports header, and i know it fits my motor, but it comes with a test pipe.
1. what is a test pipe exactly lol
2. Do i need the test pipe?
3. his price is $180obo with the test pipe so without the test pipe what should i offer him?
The test pipe is likely just a section cut and bent to the right shape and size to go in place of the catalytic converter. It is called that because if the car is having issues you can take the converter off and put on the pipe then drive the vehicle to see if the condition improves. If it does the cat was restricted or plugged. Driving on-road without a working cat is illegal and will cause a MIL on an OBDII vehicle.
