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 ...
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.
