Default Some Upgrade Questions

1. Okay so next week im ordering a Pypes O/R X and im wonder what all I need to get this done? Just some wrenches, some clamps and something to cut exhaust or what? Do I need o2 sensor extensions?

2. I will be puchasing tuner in the near future. What are the good things and downfalls of both the Diablosport Predator and the SCT one? Anyone had both and has a favorite or heard good and bad things?

3. Im starting to do research for cams (yay for tax returns) and Im looking closely at the Comp Cams XFI NSR. What is better the stage one or two? And they work with stock spring and cam gears no problem?

Thumbs up

Surprised no one has answered you yet

1. https://mustangforums.com/m_3065202/tm.htm <--that is the procedure for the o/r h pipe. You can kinda see what is required for your o/r x install by looking here. No cutting is necessary

2 & 3- someone else will have to answer, I am looking at tuners right now myself so I'm undecided as well.

The kit involves everything you will need to install the x pipe besides the tools. If you install the x-pipe before you tune your car, you will get a check engine light. It will not hurt your car, it will just tell you your cats are not working properly. We only sell SCT's because of their quality and customer service.

As for the cams, go with the stage II's (127200). They retain stock drivability while increasing top end HP. We picked up 20 hp peak to peak and 31 hp at 6200 rpm. They are a great cam and are very affordiable.

I noticed you have loudmouths. With the O/R X it will be stupid loud. My O/R H and Macs are very loud. And believe me I love loud. But damn.

The guy behind my house has o/r x with stingers and i have o/r h with macs. he likes mine better because its less raspy and more v8 sounding. his opinion and I have to agree. I love the way mine sounds. everyone says the X is raspier and the H is deeper. performance wise i believe its the same. if you have flows to put on if its too loud then u really wanna get the H instead. flows with o/r x sound horrible. IMO. I personally have heard 3 S197s with the X and it doesn't sound right. the H is better suited for this body style. IMO.
