Since our cars can't handle 2 sets of TMPS sensors, I would rather run the pipe bomb.

This is what I am really getting at. Has anyone actually made a pipe bomb to use with a BRZ or FR-S? I have heard from some on here that the light goes off for 20 miles after parking next to their stock tires with the TPMS in it.
A pipe bomb will work - the tpms need only pressure, not spin, to turn off the dash light.
