RE: Need help... H or X pipe?
ORIGINAL: mikemc04gt
A little background...I have a '04 GT that is stock except I had the factory mufflers replaced with Flowmaster 40's. It sounds pretty good, but I want it louder. The car is under warranty so I can't remove the cats. I know the car has a factory H behind the cats, will adding an aftermarket H or X and leaving the rest of exhaust as is make the car obviously louder? I don't really want to install a whole new cat back system at this time.Thanks in advance.

RE: Need help... H or X pipe?
How much warranty is left? My '04 has been out of warranty for several months now. Nevertheless, the 4.6 is a solid engine if you take care of it (ie.oil changes. ect) There is nothing that changing the mid-pipe will cause to go wrong. (as far as I know) I personally wouldn't worry about the warranty anyway. If is the standard 3-36000 then maybe, but that is only food for a few more months depending on when you bought the vehicle. If you bought the extended warranty, I highly recommend you go back to the stealership and cancel what is left and get the money back....I doesn't really cover anything. I had an '04 expedition that had a couple of problems that I had taken the vehicle in for repairs while still under the factory 3-36000. They said there was nothing wrong. Once I had gone over the 36000 (only by 3000 miles btw) I took it back for the exact same problem that I had been having all along. They said the problem was mine because it wasn't covered by the extended warranty.
