Ok so im just thinking here.

We were replacing my buddies motor mounts yesterday (or trying to at least haha). we took all the exhaust off except for the headders. Hes got a 97 I think? Anyways... we started it up w/out the H or Catback and damnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn you could literly feel it in your chest. My question is this..

What would be the pros(if any)/cons of modifing a catless H Pipe to have no H? (basically sepp. exaust run to the rear of the car). Would that be bad or cause power loss?

just keep an OR h pipe. the hpipes have problems transferring exhaust at higher rpm ive heard too...so its basically what your wanting to do anyways. probably be some power loss tho and i dont know what it would do to the sound. what made you think about wanting to do this anyways? open headers is completely different than seperate tubes?

i would keep the crossover (h part of the pipe), if you just want it louder get rid of your mufflers.

I was just thinking of something different.

ok I just got bored and made this... Is this HOW an H-Pipe works in the first place?

Leave the crossover in. It promotes exhaust scavenging (somewhat, and less than an x) which improves power.
