Yes, they will eventually get clogged or burn out. I had the Art pipes with sc, and they were a pain in the a$$ to get around when cleaning the air filter. I highly suggest, OP, that you use a good high quality 2.4-5 inch test pipe. Trust me, you will still have plenty good of back pressure.

Don't sit here and suggest that test pipes will have plenty of BP you don't really think a TP is going to hold BP.There are plenty of guys hear running cats including myself that have a lot of miles with no issues some guys have 20k +.

If I'm holding 10 lbs of boost fine and pushing 450whp on 100+ degree days in an auto and Invidia TP's with no issues, I think I'm more than qualified to offer my experience to a potential buyer. So get off your high horse, there is more than one way to peel an onion. I'm sure everyone is glad what you have is working for you.

And I have 516 rwhp on 11psi so I'm sure I know I'm talking about.

Agreed, those are great numbers. Remember, I have an AT and an HR. 11psi on a VHR is like pushing 13 psi on an HR, which would equal more hp. You know as well as I do Baer that dyno numbers can very greatly. I do know I gained 200 whp from baseline. Please remind us again how much horsepower you were pushing in your old 7AT setup??

You have Aquamist in your signature line if you are doing 450 on meth @ 10 psi somethings wrong. And I don't use meth on my Nismo.

My meth setup is for safety, not tuned for it (50/50 water/meth). I could easily run a slightly more aggressive tune and squeeze out 30 more horses. My 10psi would be like 8psi for your car (VHR). You do the math here. I can also easily run a smaller pulley to push me to 500whp mark, but the block is not built just yet. We should meet up for a fun run sometime, I think you would be surprised!
