Best bang for the buck upgrade
By high flow H-pipes he means a two cats only H-pipe or x-pipe(vs the four catted stock H-pipe )..for ultra-high flow go with the offroad pipes X or H w/o cats. I just switch to a Magnaflow catbck system (I currently have 2 chambs Flows welded to my Stock catbacks connected to an Offroad Magnaflow Xpipe ), It sounds great but i started to hear a rattle after a juice shot, too much restriction i guess from the chambered flows..Now I am going to the Wide open technology!!<IMG src=smileys/smiley2.gif border="0">

Where online can I find a place to buy an h-pipe with only 2 cats instead of 4? I would prefer to go off road h-pipe but I'm pretty sure that aint legal where I live. Another question like I said I just ordereded my flows are they hard to install or can they be done with like household tools. I've never installed anything on my car so do you think I could do it or no?

MAF - Mass Air Flow - senses the amount of air coming into the engine. why is it restrictive...plastic POS!<IMG src=smileys/smiley11.gif border="0"></P>

Plastic?! What part of your MAF is plastic?! I just ended up replacing mine (before I knew I should have upgraded it<IMG onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley19.gif'" alt=Cry src=smileys/smiley19.gif border="0">) and it's a pretty solid chunk o' metal. The K&N FIPKkit deletes the mesh screen, so I don't have that to contend with. </P>
The FIPK also went on before I found this forum. I feel so enlightened now. It's nice to know I've blown >$200 for whole lot of nothing. The FIPK though with an un-contaminated MAF made for a huge boost in HP. <IMG onclick="AddSmileyIcon'smileys/smiley1.gif'" alt=Smile src=smileys/smiley1.gif border="0">Especially after it got warm. Lots o' valve rattle and detonation on hard acceleration before. </P>
