Just dont forget to spray some WD-40 on those bolts about 30 min before you go to take them off... Makes everything a lot easier.


Let us know how everything turns out.

if wd40 won't work, try pb blast... it's the ****.... also, if penetrant doesn't work, heat up the nuts/bolts till they glow red and they will come right out. I had to do this in 3 places when i pulled my pipe to do my trans. Hopefully when I go to put my o/r H on, they won't be as bad seeing as they were all broken loose.

if you get a catted it comes with high flow cats. if you get a o/r, it comes with NO cats

yeah. the xpipe replaces the stock h-pipe that has the cats on it.

the x-pipe will not have cats on it if you get a off road version. but it is also offered in a catted version, the aftermarket cats flow better than the stock ones, and there is only 2 on the mid pipe compared to 2. If you like the sound of an h-pipe they have an aftermarket one also catted or off road

And what about the O2 sensors when using an X-pipe?
