Default What do you guys think

I was wondering what you guys think about my idea. I want a new mid pipe but here in MA I need cats to pass emisions. I was thinking the pro chamber but with cats it is expensive. I want an off road pipe but it won't pass inspection. I found a cheap off road H pipe brand new for like 160 shipped from 'pace setters'. Has anybody heard of these before? I was thinking I could buy that pipe and put it on for the year, then put my stock mid back on once a year during inspection time. Anybody do this? Are these pipes a pain to switch like this? Any opinions?

I've heard of pacesetters bc its on lmperformances site, but I havent heard any reviews on it. Havent heard of anyone that's bought the pipe. That alone would keep me away from it. Who knows, it could be awesome though. But why would you buy 2 pipes. Why not just buy the prochamber and leave it on year round?

I was only going to buy the off road pipe to save money. Then just switch for cats when inspection comes around. Ohh btw, I have MagnaPacks so mabey the off road pipe will be too much.

Don't get me wrong I love loud pipes. There are times were I actually think my packs are to quiet for me but that doesn't mean I want 'Get Police Attention' loud!

i have no cats on my car with the loudmouth 1's. magnapacks won't be louder with out cats than lm1's without cats. all i do is pay a guy an extra 50 bills and he passes me. if all fails you can just put your stocker in when you need a sticker. in fact everyone around here with a mustang doesn't have cats lol. i would just get the off road pipe and find a frined that works in a garage or just ask a few ppl around and see if they will pass you for an extra few bucks.

Dilo, your car sounds so f'ing sick man. I remember waiting in line at the track when you were up and just hearing you romp it. I think you just sold me on some off road pipes. Also tell your friend he has another customer!
