    Midpipe. ;[ Its been a WANT for so long, but i couldn't get it w/o money. Seems mostly any hard core mustang owner changes the midpipe and the catback. I just have the catback, but the 6 cat stock Hpipe makes my MAC sound like a honda.

    o/r is out of the picture since my car must stay Street Legal. I know only having 2 cats is not really street legal, but having 0 is worse lol.

    The midpipe is $299! Cheapest i found and it might go up if i wait any longer to find a NEW catted midpipe.

    Yeah, I think you should get one if you can afford it. Do it now so you can recover financially in time for the holidays.

    If its not going to pass emissions, it doesn't really matter unless you get pulled over by cops. And you can get pulled over no matter what you're running.

    I'd say go o/r and just switch it back for emissions, especially if the 2-cat version won't pass emissions. Not a hard swap, and o/r is much cheaper.

    Man....what do you do that a mid-pipe costs 2 paychecks? Newspaper route? Tell me you at least get paid weekly.

    Well.. youll be surpised. Its actually my 1st paycheck, but i just started work 2 weeks ago. You know you don't get paid for the 1st week of most jobs. However, they paid me for starting early b.c of a sick worker plus orientation. So, i just got my 1st paycheck last week, but i have a little over from my smaller non official 1st paycheck 2 weeks ago.

    Im a grocery stocker/Student! Yes, i get paid weekly.

    I know people have passed with O/R, but if a inspector looks under and see no cats than its a big fail. If a person looks under and see a catted midpipe they'll pass most likely.

    $300 buddy. Read above. ;] I hated to blow $300 on a catback, but i did.

    Im going to hate to blow $300 on a midpipe. I spent alittle of my paycheck already, plus i need some for backup till the next paycheck, so im blowing what i can w/o breaking myself. It still sucks rofl.. 150+ on a part just for the sound.

    O/R is not an option.

    6 Cats to 2 Cats.. seems godly to me. ;] Just hearing how loud my friends GT stock 4 cat hpipe is and mine with 6 cats ... you can truely tell my car is the quiet one :/

    Do what you have to do... When I was 22 I spent $450 on a super schweet Aiwa head unit. And this was 1988 :eek:

    Have you decided which midpipe you will get?
