Yep..its an exhaust thread

[Makdaddymac]

not your usually opinionated thread;

ok here we go,
got a 94 gt now dd, 5.0ftw! had tranny issues getting that sorted out
i want to do minor minor mods to it! just like exhaust,intake,and u/d pulleys
maybe squeeze an extra mpg out of it once i get used to the new sound and decide to slow down

anyways i cant tell if its the tranny(just rebuilt as of today) but i the engine feels rough at like 4k, almost like the cats clogged, i was actually wondering if anyone has ever had there cats smoking? but not to go to far off track, im sure its been done but has anyone installed a offroad mid x or h pipe to a stock catback? and got a clip? considering the midpipes are the most restrictive and noise reducers on the whole car, i think this car has 6 cats! also would it fit onto the stock 2-1/4 piping ok?

would it sound ok or what? stupid idea opinions wanted.

yeah...

shorty headers, Cat less X pipe...sounds nasty on stock catback imo. and a few who have heard it in person dont believe me that its stock catback till they look. sounds different in person but gives ya an idea.

it sound ok, is it really old school sounding like galsspacky or is it tone, im looking for tone over noise

 

[Makdaddymac]

its not really all that loud. and trust me. its got a tone. i love it.

 

[Makdaddymac]

i really might try this..and i really feel like a noob but im not asking what is the tone or what is better
but which one is overall LOUDER(not tone or rasp vs. deep but rather decibals ) x or h ??


and hey ryan ,
did the 2.5 bolt up to the 2-1/4 alright?
ps. if you get some time could you make another video maybe a little camera driveby?

It really depends on what catback you are running on your car. If you plan on keeping your stock catback, the h-pipe will make it deeper. The x-pipe MIGHT be louder and have a little rasp to it, but I don't know anytone who keeps the stock catback on a 5.0. Nor do I know anyone that buys the midpipe then a catback.

My opinion, get the catback first and then the midpipe. Saves for alot headache down the road.

my mid pipe clogged is why i bought one first.

 

[Makdaddymac]

yep i think mine is clogged also, plus im broke as a joke, a midpipe is cheaper and i really might not even keep this car much longer its already being un loyal
