Default O/R Mid-Pipe

Love the sound of my MagnaPacks but I know I'm sacrificing sound and performance keeping the stock cats on. Was wondering what the best mid-pipe was to run. Also, should I go with an X or H? I was leaning towards the Mac Pro Chamber since I think it has the best sound.

An x pipe to my knowledge is best overall. I'm not sure who's the best but you should know that when the car us still that you're going to smell gas in the air and it's going to get a lot louder and more raspy.

Yeah a friend of mine runs magnapacks with an off road x and it's super loud. But sounds good. I like pro chamber because the sound is unique. X and H pipes are preference, people say that X gives you more of a NASCAR scream while H gives you that classic muscle car sound

I have magnapacks and a mac o/r x and love it. Gets compliments everywhere I go.

With that said, at times it can be a little loud for DD duty.

Yeah from the video and sound clips I have found I think I like the Pro Chamber sound the best. Not too worried about the loudness inside the car. I was driving with the cutouts open for a while and didn't have too much of an issue. Was kinda annoying trying to talk to a passenger but didn't bother me much. Doubt an o/r pipe will be as loud as the cutouts are.

Largely your preference, x pipe sounds very raspy and higher pitched Imo. Some actually dared to compare it to a fart canned civic. And the h-pipe has that troaty muscle car growl

Where exactly do the MIL Eliminators install at?

Edit: Nevermind, found the product page on AM. "Installation is straight forward and simple. Plug the MIL eliminator to the corresponding connectors. One end will plug into the oxygen sensor and the other end will plug into the vehicles wire loom. "

Local guy told me with an o/r pipe and the MIL Eliminators he passes smog without problems.
