Anybody other then BBK make an offroad H-pipe? I heard of problems with them!

Also, here is a great video for those of you who think that x pipes sound better then h pipes or if you think there is no noticable sound difference. Be honest, theres no way you like the x pipe after watching this direct comparision video!!

PROBLEM

I called 50resto today to order the Mac Offroad H-pipe and they said that there is a back order on them and they don't know how long it will be... I search online and i can't find anybody else who sells the same Mac H-pipe.... Somebody i'm sure has one in stock!!. I don't want to be forced to buy the Summit Store Brand H-pipe! Any help guys?!?!

Again, go with the Jeg's H-pipe. Unless the MAC H is stainless, there's nothing about it that warrants it being more expensive than the Jeg's H-pipe. The Jeg's H has 3-piece construction to it like the MAC pipe, so fitment isn't an issue, and it's only just a bit over $100. If you just want the black painted finish, you could always just buy a rattle-can of high-temp paint and do the Jeg's H up the same way.

The Summit one, last time I looked, was only a 2-piece deal with the center section of the H being the part that you clamp together. Not terrible, but not a very good design either, IMO.

I looked it up and it says its a 2-piece...

The one I mentioned from Mustangs Unlimited is definitely stainless steel. It is 'only' the 409 variety, which is a lesser grade than the 304, but it is stainless, nonetheless and will not rust!

As for H-pipes being "garbage for power" is a total BS and untrue statement. A true statement is that X -pipes make 2-3 more HP, but they are total garbage for sound! If you want your car to sound like a classic musclecar, get an H pipe. If you want your car to sound more like a modern raspy tuner car get the X pipe. If you think you will notice the difference in HP, get a new car!

H-Pipe > X-Pipe all day long...

I've searched Mustangs unlimited and have not yet found anything they sell that is stainless steel...

why has no one mentioned the MAC Prochamber? they make great power and sound awesome, maybe the price tag is the culprit?

Summit is the best place, (in my eyes) to buy all parts, so i more than trust their name products, I love the h-pipe I got from them, no prob's at all, took 30 minutes to install and love it. No leaks and fitment was great. Been running it for about 5 months now and no exhaust leaks yet. Exactly what mufflers are you going to run?

 

[Darkwriter77]

I'm an idiot - there is no 3-piece H-pipe from Jegs. I was thinking of the X-pipe instead of the H-pipe.

got mac o/r h-pipes and have no problems

i got mac off road h-pipes a couple months ago. the guy that installed them said they went on without any trouble. no leaks. they sound tough. i already had bbk shorty headers and flowtech catback exhaust. so far i'm very pleased with the mac pipes

 

[Jaym14]

The whole h vs x thing is really is just a matter of personal choice... The performance difference is small.... I think it was mm&ff that did a study a few years ago that showed h pipes made better low rpm power while the x made made better high rpm power but the overall difference was less than 5 hp. If you prefer the sound of an h pipe than go with it. As far as bbk goes, I have their shorty h and long tubes and have no issues with it

That SLP exhaust makes everything they're installed on sounds like boats and that Mustang is no exception. A buddy of mine put loudmouths on his C-5 and it sounded just like that GT in the video. Pretty much like garbage unless you're on the water.

I have the MAC H pipe w 2 chamber flows and it is deep, raspy and LOUD.
