So since i live in a state that doesnt check emissions, do you think a fi cbe and art non resonated tps would be a good setup?

Yes. The only drawback to test pipes are emissions, loudness, and a CEL. Like u said emissions isn't a problem, and if you want a loud car then go for it. (It'll sound great!) After you get a tune you can clear the CEL forever.

Test pipes will yield a bit more power than high flow cats. The reason I chose high flow cats is I didn't want my car to be loud bc my neighbors would hate me and it kinda gets annoying imo.(I had a straight piped 300zx lololol never again) Plus I need to pass emissions.

Well i dont want to be obnoxiously loud but i want it to sound mean at the same time, maybe ill try resonated tps at first snd if i dont like them ill sell those and get non resonated..but still going back and forth between motordyne and fi cbe
