H-pipe or X-pipe

[I-CAN-STANG]

Who makes the best catted H pipe for the 03/04?

MRT makes the best H, lol! Everyone knows Magnaflow makes the best X. :coolman:

MRT Hpipe here... Would never trade it for an X

 

[tyronejenkinsII]

I had both and the H-pipe sounds a hell of a lot better than the X....

A lot of people like that sound of the H-pipe a lot more because that what they come with from the factory. But the x-pipe tends to give you like 5 more rwhp. It all depends on what your looking for.

H- all the way. I have had an off road H for a few months now... Loud as hell and sounds good! I love it...

BTW, I have another MRT O/R H brand new for sale... (buddy backed out)

PM me with a price on the O/R H-Pipe if you still have it

Thanks ...Chip

H pipe is for chambered mufflers and X pipe is for straight through mufflers..Depends on the tone you are looking for..MAC/Flowmaster sound good with H pipe and Borla and Bassini sound good with X pipe... I have a brand new BBK off road X pipe for sale part number 1669. If interested please send me an email at [email protected] and I can send you pics of it.

I have bassani mid length headers, so you pretty much have to go with bassani x pipe, or start to cut up an H pipe.. Just easier to get the x.. I like the sound with the bassani headers, xpipe and cat back.. :beer:

Off Road ProChamber simply awesome...

Does anyone run custom exhaust setups on their cobras? I mean like going to an exhaust shop and have them make a full exhaust that attaches to whatever aftermarket headers you chose. I am in the process of getting a Cobra and trying to figure out what route of mods I would like to go.

Thanks

I think you will find the pre-fab aftermarket items to be of higher quality and will get better longevity from them. I have seen some 'custom' exhaust jobs and none of them impressed me.

Sounds good, I was just wondering if anyone has done that, I am going to go with bassani x pipe and catback.

good choice. I went with magnaflow because the performance was the same (or better), the quality was good, and the price was about 30% less than bassani or borla.
I haven't regretted my choices as I'm sure you won't with the bassani pieces.

BTW, I am running an o/r x w/ catback, both from magnaflow.

wish they would have done it on a 03/04 and measured the differences in backpressure vs hp gains/loss throughout the entire band.

 

[Antex]

Wow - a tie 116 to 116!! I went with the MAC catted H pipes since I already had the Mac catbacks.....love the powerful sound & added power it gives... :beer:

Yes, sounds best to me personally. Calm down...

Here is my 3" Mac CB with Mac ORH:

Pretty tough sounding exhaust to everyone who has heard it in person... that includes my X-pipe buddies.
