tC test pipe?
Anyone know of an online site that has bolt on test pipes for the tC? A friend of mine has one on his RSX-s with Apexi exhaust and it's sick. Nice 1-2 foot yellow/blue flame shoots out his a** when shifting hard!

They don't make test pipes for the tC. You either need to buy a full exhaust, or you can get a ZPI mid-pipe + an S-pipe and you would be good to go.

hahahahahah
Well, he's got his set up so that there is such an extreme scavenging of exhaust gases that they still carry a bit of spark as they are excellerated through the exhaust pipes and when combined with the oxygen in the air, boom....they ignite once again.....
The old way was to use a copper wire and a spark plug and wire it into your tail pipe. My dad had this set up on his 72 Nova with a 383 stroker. It used to have a huge a** flame come out and it looked sick when he punched it.

Make your fuel rich with a piggy back of some sort, and you would shoot flames.

umm...you do know you would also gain HP right? Exhaust + A/F adjustment = Flame and Extra HP.

yes, and with the added HP there would also be a good chunk taken out of the gas mileage. Face it, if you have the adjustment in A/F, you're going to use that power more often. Gas mileage will decrease too much. I will be getting the CamCon around April of next year so that will be taken care of then. For the winter time I'll stick to my bolt on hp.
