Catted Midpipe

[96BlueGT]

I have purchased a 1996 Mustang GT. It has the stock exhaust manifolds and a flowmaster cat back 40 series. The current midpipe is a Pypes H-pipe with no cats. I will need a catted midpipe to pass emissions testing in New York state. I was thinking of either a Pypes or SLP catted X-pipe. Anyone have a preference for one
over the other? Also does anyone have this setup that has passed NY state emissions? Another option could be to just add cats to the current H-pipe?

Comes down to your sound preference and budget.

I'd just have an exhaust shop add cats, keep that sweet H pipe flowmaster combo, probably $300 total including labor: https://www.americanmuscle.com/slp-ceramic-catalytic-converter.html

If you want the x pipe it will cost a little more - no performance gain, just different sound.

Add high flow cats and it will still have an awesome aggressive sound similar to off road. Search some youtube sound clips and you'll be surprised how nice a modular car sounds w hi flow cats.
