I have been searching endlessly for an aftermarket H pipe with cats. I'm trying to stay away from an x pipe but those are the only ones i can find. There are plenty of off road h pipes around but i want one that i can put on and still be legal. Do you know of anyone that makes these? :shrug:

I have MRT's catted H-pipe and all I can say is the following:

*perfect fitment
*no MILs despite not having MIL eliminators (unlike Bassani's catted X pipe and really most other catted pipes)
*excellent sound when coupled with flowmaster 2-chambers (all i can speak for since that's what I have.)

I highly recommend paying the extra cash for this all stainless steel catted H-pipe (the only stainless catted H-pipe I'm aware of). Bassani is high quality but their cats must not be as efficient/etc since many people still needed MIL eliminators even with the catted version. My brother has the catted bassani X pipe and this was his experience.

Do you still pass emissions at DMV?

We don't have emmissions testing in my area of the country (Columbus, OH) but it would pass since I believe the latest greatest emmissions testing involves a visual inspection of the presence of cats (which I have) and a scan of your engine's diagnostic system (which I have no MILs).

It's seriously a great pipe. I've already been through one winter with it and the thing looks brand new other than a tiny bit of rust (and I mean tiny) around some of the welds. Put another way, my stock catback pipes and flowmaster mufflers are a stark comparison to the MRT h-pipe.

I spoke to MRT about their pipe before I bought it. Although they could not tell me who their manufacturer was, they did tell me that the company is a major exhaust manufacturer located in California. Is that Magnaflow????? Might be. . . I even think the Magnaflow rep hinted to me in a thread one time this was the case but I'm not totally certain.

Now I just need to get a new full catback system to compliment my sweet H-pipe! Sure wish Flowmaster made a SS system. Still might go with their american thunder system since i'm so addicted to the sound.

No emissions here in FL either...
The MRT H is made by JBA...at least that's what the paperwork said when I rec'd mine...I can't remember exactly what paperwork I received or what I saw, but the proverbial light bulb went off and I said, ahh...JBA.
The Flowmaster AT catback with the MRT midpipe are are a great combo. A perfect tone IMO...nothing 'ratty' sounding about it. Pretty quiet at idle, beautiful tone when accellerating, wicked when wound up. I am totally pleased with my choice.
