Stright Pipe

[Deleted member 38176]

Still haven't gotten around to doing it, But putting it next on my list, so whats a good brand that you recommend? I want to go with the H pipe..

Only found BBK so far, also someone told me may be cheaper to just have a custom one built?

MAC! The video I posted above is with a cat-less MAC H-pipe

Cats make all the difference in the world when it comes to sound volume, especially on the 96-98 cars which came with 6 cats

just from my experience with straight pipes, they didn't make much of a difference

Yes, you will throw a code. You have 2 options......get MIL eliminators to plug into the 02 ports or use a tuner (like SCT) to turn off the codes.

Ahh ok ill look into that thanks!!

In sound? When I swapped my stock H for the O/R H my car got noticeably louder

Yup

Would this work for the GT? HERE

I thought 4 of them are resonators and only 2 were cats?

If not, which ones do I remove in order to maintain emissions? I wanna keep mine legal...

That should work fine.

I suppose that you could any one of them.

Food for thought....you could remove all stock mid-pipe and keep it, reinstalling it for the emissions test. Also remember that emissions testing is done via the OBD2, not the sniffer. As long as your SES light is off, it should pass. Mine has passed the last 3 years with no cats whatsoever (and they are strict here in TX).

According to TxDPS, all vehicles 1996 or newer require the OBD2 test and all vehicles 1995 or older require the ASM/TSI (sniffer) test.

I would call around and ask what method they would use for your specific vehicle. They SHOULD be using the OBD2 test.

Heres a video I made with a friend. his car has my old UPR o/r x pipe, I bought the Mach prochamber and I love it. It all comes down to preference.

I went with a o/r x and Mac Pro dumps...sounds good! American muscle sells them for like 250 for a 79-93 it says. But it bolted perfectly fine on my 2000 so you wouldn't have problems. I was only worried about back pressure with a straight pipe. I did fire it up for a bit with just my xpipe and good lord was it loud!! Haha so I'm assuming straight pipes would be just about the same...way too loud for a street car.
