Default o/r X, Flows... but no CAI

How do you guys figure this... I bought my 02 GT, bought 6 months ago. It was my first stang so I didn't know much about them at all. So, of course I start buying ****, K&N FIPK II, Diablo Predator, Accufab 75mm T/B and Plenum, and 4.10s... Well, I knew my Stang was loud as hell, but I didn't really think much about it, till the other week I happen to look under the car and realized I had o/r x pipes and flowmasters welded on... Now my question is who does that, but doesn't spend the money to buy a CAI or do anything else to it... I don't get it.

The X pipe and flows were on the car before you got it?

Thats messed up.. I will have to swap out my O/R H pipe every two years and go get it E-checked.. Then take off the factory cats and put the H pipe back on.. Then again I don't have my stuff welded so its no big deal.. If your stuff is welded then you be f***ed....

I would do exhaust mods way before intake mods if I had to do it over again.

The x pipe was worth alot more than any one piece of the intake boltons you have added so far, maybe all of it.

yep the car had them on when I bought it, and my car is registered in NM, so I dont' have to get it checked. Yeah I'm just glad that I don't have to buy them... I just didn't understand why someone would do that and nothing else
