Default How come so many people go for Off-road X and H pipes?

The reason im asking is, if we have the option of Power adders that are safer for the enviroment, what is the obsession with going with the offroad option?

Im by no means out to save the world but it just makes more sense to have fun with our sport while being considerate.


Before I get flamed which im sure will happen, my technical question is. what is the real benifit to using an offroad pipe over an onroad?

+1 pascal. For some, the louder the better.

I've switched to florescant bulbs in my home. That does more for the environment than both of my cars running off road exhaust hurts.

Power adders are nice but im 21 and cant afford one.

I got the offroad xpipe because it was 100 bucks and added 10hp and made it sound 10x better!!!

Increase sound/power. Simple as that.

Catted pipes ain't cheap!

I really hope you're not hopping on the government's bandwagon of "save the planet", "be green", "stop global warming".

The planet doesn't need saving, and even if it did, we couldn't do anything to help.

The amount of exhaust coming out of a mustang with O/R pipes is nothing compared to a "big rig" or even a F350 turbo diesel where the owner keeps stomping on the gas.

I personally blame Pennsylvania for all the coal burning energy plants. listen we got nuke plants. lets use them.
