First... because the pipe isn't round it won't flow as well.

Second... because it's smaller in terms of area it won't flow as well.

Third... because of the disruption to the gas flow caused by the hollow cat.

Put it on a dyno and you'll see the difference.

Interesting, news to me. The problem for me (street guy) with the test pipe is that that it rusts away to nothing here in the midwest. The factory setup has downsides but both of mine are gutted cats and virtually no rust. I happen to have a test pipe, it is paper thin if anyone wants it....;] Bruce

Then buy a test pipe made out of stainless.
