J Pipes, Downpipes, Test pipes!!!
What can I expect from these?
how do they differ and will they change the sound any?
from what I understand, they are just different bends in piping...
but I'm not sure...
any idea how much these will run me..
say I want a 2.5 inch?

J-pipe & downpipe I think are different names for the same thing, the pipe that starts at the intake manifold & goes under the oil pan. Honda actually calls it the A-pipe. What it does depends on exactly what you buy. Generally it's included when you buy a header.
Test pipe is an empty pipe that you put in place of the catalytic converter, if you want your CEL to be on all the time & you want to fail smog checks.

only the test pipe will give you any hp, and it will probly only be around 5 hp. and you will fail your smog testing, kill the environment, and your cel will be on all the time if your car has an o2 sensor after the cat

Well yeah... but I've removed my 02 sensors and my CEL is always on. I'm in Texas so I don't have smog tests and not sure when I will... I live in a pretty rural area so I'm not so sure how quickly we will catch on to the smog testing. The only thing required where I live is a muffler... not even a cat... but a cat does count as a muffler.

Technically, the converter, both O2 sensors, & the full OBD-2 setup is required by federal EPA. EVERYWHERE in the US. The only difference is whether anyone bothers to check your car. If some cop really wanted to be a ++++, then he could use this as an excuse to ticket you.
