I have been offered an O/R X pipe for $100. Now if I get it...I would have to wait to put the high flow mufflers on that I would want to eventually have. Would it be worthwhile to go ahead and get it and have it put on with my otherwise stock exhaust-without cats anyway? Or should I just wait and spend my $$ elsewhere?

What kind of pipe? Anyways I'd get it and put it on the shelf for when you run across a good catback

Get it. The midpipe will give you more gains than a catback system will.

+1 , and even if you put it on, it will sound a little better that what you had so you win either way

as long as it is a regular (aka non shortie) midpipe it will bolt right up to your stock exhaust manifolds and catback, and make more power than a catback ever will.

it is said that the midpipe is the most restrictive part of the exhaust system. Go ahead and slap 'er on, you'll be impressed with the gains.

i bought my car with a pro-chamber on it and the stock mufflers(i know its not an X pipe but still.) it sounded pretty damn good to me.

Good to know...if I have everyone's vote I'll go ahead and grab it up if I can. That is...if it will bolt up to stock headers. The seller did tell me that I would need O2 extenders. Somebody at Stlmustangs.com also said that I would need "Mil" eliminators to keep my check/service engine light from coming on. Does that sound right? Is that all I would need before taking the pipe to the shop?

I WANT THIS MUSTANG TO STAY QUIET. IT IS STOCK 97 GT. IF I PUT O/R H PIPE ON WILL IT MAKE IT LOUDER ? THANKS.
