test pipes are all the same. just make sure they fit and they're the size you want

o2 housing has been discussed...please search

size of both depends on your whole setup and what type of power you're looking to make

a test pipe is a test pipe. like said above, make sure u get one that fits your exhaust.

o2, well i use to have the megan on my stocker and my 20g, i loved it. its basicly the same as the one buschur sells (ebay one). there are a few out now that will actually dump with stock wastegate to atmosphere.

wait..... didnt u say u wanted 500whp yesterday? y bother with an o2 if u are just going to get a bigger turbo in the first place?

like xguy said, just make sure it fits with the rest of your system. They are essentially the same..its just a straight pipe essentially. Some come resonated to reduce noise. I run the Megan Resonated Test Pipe, it fits the stock exhaust i'm pretty sure and its available at a very good price...there are a few vendors on the site that sell the part...Zeus does alot of the Megan parts and TTP, thats where i got mine.

Don't forget to pay attention to materials (ie stainless steel) and flange thickness though

most test pipes will fit most applications...correct me if i'm wrong but most downpipes and catbacks are designed to fit up to the stock cat?

thats correct. however, there are a few companies that make their parts so that you practically HAVE to purchase the rest of their stuff...like AMS, Buschur, APS to name a few
