Don’t understand why you think using defoulers and steel wool is a bad idea to avoid the CEL…

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Because it’s just tricking the computer. Nothing replaces a tune. The tune adjusts the cars parameters based on actual conditions.

[@tcblackg35]

@@SpeedCultureStudios of course a tune is best to tailor to your mods but all the bung extenders do is have the o2 sensors read less exhaust gas to avoid tripping the code that is only there for emissions, ie a bad catalytic converter. If you’re not getting tuned or don’t plan to for a while you wouldn’t want a CEL on all the time and it’s a perfectly acceptable fix for it.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@tcblackg35 You’re missing the point-or actually proved my point for me. It’s only “perfectly acceptable” because you’re not getting the CEL. The point is that it’s not acceptable, because although you may (not guaranteed) avoid a CEL-it’s only because the O2 sensors aren’t getting a proper reading while your car is not actually running optimally.

[@tcblackg35]

@@SpeedCultureStudios I see what you’re saying but I’ll caveat that by saying that the downstream sensor is only there to read exhaust post cat for emissions, as long as it doesn’t detect readings outside of tolerances it won’t send a CEL but even if it does to my understanding it won’t adjust fuel trim or anything that’s only the upstream A/F sensor which is unaffected by test pipes… I do agree that a tune after test pipes is best to maximize gains from them

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

@@tcblackg35 Right but I’m also not even really concerned about the cel itself. It’s the fact that you’re just tricking it to not throw a cel which means the car isn’t tuned.

Buggin! You can beat the o2 without a tune eith the defoulers. I been through it already with many different combonations and know what works and why it works. Either get the j bend and face it upstream or double stack 2 defoulers with one with the small hole on the test pipe side. You can use a pipe screen stuffed in there to disturb the turbulance so the full band doesnt read the same as the reference sensor which should read differently due to cats. Thats how it gets tricked!

How are the belugas? also I don’t really notice the raspiness with non resonated test pipes. If you removed the resonators from the exhaust system then that raspiness would be insane.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

The belugas are actually decent for the price. Most people do not keep the factory catback system with test pipes because they upgrade that too, which is why test pipes are raspy. Most aftermarket systems only have a couple small resonators, which are not strong/large enough to handle the rasp.

Should i run test pipes with stock exhaust or test pipes with muffler delete? great Chanel btw. I enjoy watching your content

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Thanks a lot! You can run with test pipes for awhile but I don’t recommend doing that long term without a tune.

[@juanmacias5215]

Speed Culture Studios if I ran those art pipes for a few months before should I just wait till I get a tune and the full exhaust done this time.

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Huaniitoo M. That’s what I would do, but totally up to you.

Got Z1 test pipes on my G37 sedan and no CEL

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

You’re lucky!

[@alexgrivas8261]

Will it be bad for my car if I don’t get a tune with test pipes because I want to wait for the tune until I get headers and a new intake plenum

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It’s not great to run test pipes without a tune. Many people have done it or do it but it’s not ideal. I would just suggest tuning as soon as possible

[@Supreme_DM]

Would you recommend used test pipes for cheaper ? Thank you

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

If they are in good shape yes!

[@4doorr34]

Hey, not sure if you'd see this but I have a G37 sedan with a single exit setup (Megan y pipe, vibrant resonator, Greddy 3 inch muffler) I was in the market for Fast Intentions RTP, but I'm worried if it'd be raspy at all, I definitely dont want it too loud either. If you have any suggestions lemme know!

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Sorry to miss this. Yes it would be a bit raspy but it's all about what you like and dont like.

[@tleoipl37]

One things for sure, NEVER GET A TEST PIPE WITH A FLEX PIPE 🙏

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

100%

[@TianRmz097]

I should’ve got Tein springs 🤦‍♂️

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

I'm happy with mine lol!

[@TianRmz097]

Speed Culture Studios I have RSR on already

[@iLeGenDzZz]

Criztian Ramirez what’s wrong with the RSR?

[@TianRmz097]

iLeGenDzZz nothing, just that the rear is not as low as the front

[@infinitiqs3971]

Criztian Ramirez should’ve got rsr super down

[@billtrumper_80]

Where can I find the Monza test pipes you were talking about? Bill 2010 G37x Sedan Central Pa

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Manzo-- They were available in a couple of places. There was a limited supply last time I checked. Look at Redline 360 Performance.

[@karonblizzard7452]

How long can you drive with test pipes without a tune before problems start to come your way ? NEED RESPONSE ASAP

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

It's impossible to know. If you're just driving around normal it's fine for awhile I'm sure. If you're driving fast everywhere, you could run into lean issues. some people never get tuned and dont have a problem . It's just not a good idea.

[@pressin2k413]

I know this video is old but I have a 2014 3.7 q50 I just can’t find a a working link for some of those test pipes

[@SpeedCultureStudios]

Test pipes are getting harder to find. Try kinetix racing or z1
