Default Those with off-road mid-pipes

Did you notice a decrease in torque when going with the off-road mid-pipe? I'm leaning towards the pypes off-road H. The heads and cams will be stock for a while and no FI in sight so with that said...is there really much to gain with the off-road H-pipe besides an increase in exhaust sound? For $175 and free install (by me), it's on my summer mod list but i'm having second thoughts.

I just installed the pypes offroad h and it feels to me like it picked up, not dropped off ...P.S. the weight you save in losing the cats is worth it alone ...

I've had my off raod H installed for about a week and a half and the car is definately quicker.... i wouldn't be worried about losing torque.

No power loss here I have the MAC off road X pipe. Way louder though, I had to put my stock mufflers back on to tone it down. It's pretty amazing how much the stock cats actually muffled the exhaust. I like the stock muffs back on, it sounds plenty loud without being a cop magnet. And yes your car will lose about 40 or more pounds of unwanted weight when you yank the cats.

I just bolted up a offroad x-pipe to my 2007 GT 2 days ago. I am running the stock mufflers and it ispretty loud, a somewhat deep and raspy tone. No loss of power at all.

Thanks for all the responses everyone. I think that seals the deal for me.
