RE: H pipe
Most of the members on here have MAC H-pipes. They tend to make very quality H pipes, good quality and sound good too.
Most either have the MAC Prochamber, or a regular MAC H-pipes, also either catted or o/r. Gains will be the same, just get the one you think sounds the best.
As far as installation, I would honestly try it yourself, its really not that hard and you will save otherwise wasted money. Installation, my guess they would charge about 1 hour or so, maybe 2, so your looking at about $150 just to install the thing. Plus, depending on if you go catted (Around $350) or offroad (Around $160). So totals could be anywhere from $450 to $300.

RE: H pipe
We'll i have no garage, no real tools, and its hot as hell outside, and i live on a pretty main street. I dont really have any friends with any of that stuff either. Plus i dont know alot about cars in general so i figure ill just get it installed. theres a shop near me i got magnaflow mpacks installed and i like the place the guy gives hook ups if you pay in cash and dont ask for a receipt. I just dont know if they only do mufflers or if they do mid pipes too. anyway, thanks for your help.

RE: H pipe
Well in that case, then sure get it installed. If he did your catback for you, he would definitely do your midpipe. Its part of the exhaust.
Just trying to give you some other options. But if thats what needs to be done, get it installed and just be happy. You will love the new sound!

RE: H pipe
where you from dude there is a place in countryside, IL on joliet road... james dean muffler and brake.
Jimmy there (the owner) he is THE **** for custom exhaust fabrication. He made it for our impala and it is better than factory, and he has no problem bolting in parts like you have. Pretty much an exhaust God
I'm definitely using his shop again if I ever need exhaust work again
