Ok im sorry to do this guys and yes I have used the "search" tool which is garbage on this site...But I am in desprate need of a midpipe to combo with my borla stingers... I have been youtubing everythign and im pretty sure i have looked at every video of 99-04 mustangs with borla. I think I have narrowed it down to MRT H over the Bassani X.... Now the decision is to go catless or catted... I was wondering if anyone could provide feedback as to How much of a difference the cats make because the quality of the comparison videos on youtube just isn't reliable. Thanks guys for any help

on a side note...
Cams or LT's?
I have an auto and im thinking cams because LT's seem to be a difficult and very very expensive process.

 

Well, the x vs h pipe is a matter of preference, but a o/r mid pipe will be significantly louder! It will be more raw sounding, with more pop and backfire as well. Powerwise, there is no discernable difference between catted and off road.

A good set of long tubes are going to enhance the cams ability to make more power. I would do both, and personally, i'd do the headers first.

 

If you're looking into a catted MRT-H pipe, you're going to be dropping some HEAVY HEAVY cash.

I have an uncatted Mac H on my car and I've loved it since I got it about 3-4 years ago.

It's LOUD, but it does have some cracking at lower rpms when WOT, and backfires on decel when in gear..

but, it's not 'tractor/farm truck' backfire either....

I personally love it, but like I said; it's loud! And it's loud all the time.

 

with the cats on the mrt H how much louder/deeper will the tone actually be...I love the sound of my stingers but I would not complain if they were a bit louder...I would love to go catless im just afraid it would be wayy too loud

 

It will be quiet a bit louded and deeper. When i add the MRT cattd h to my SSS exhaust (similar to Stingers) it sounded awesome...VERY deep and bassy, and pretty damn loud for a catted setup.

It will basically keep the same sound you have now, but it will be a little louder and deeper.

 

that makes me smile :-D...im going to stay catted just because I dont like that popping/crackling sound of catless setups...I think im going to avoid the headers though I dont feel like I have enough mods for it to really make that much of a difference power wise and i have read that although having longtubes will help cams...cams themselves are the better bang for the buck. Not to mention the sex appeal of the idle sound or a cammed stang sitting next to you at a redlight.

 

I see you're planning on getting stage 2 Bullet cams. I'm curious, what made you choose these? Reason i ask is because i'm about to get these same ones as well. Since they're brand new, hardly anyone knows about them yet.

I had done TONS of research, and found these to be best suited to my application.

They have a great lope, and put down some serious numbers for a relativley small cam. Plus you don't have to change the springs.

 

If you were on YouTube, you probably saw the Comp Orange Mach 1 with the OR MRT H and Stingers.....he's a former friend of mine and a cop, which is the ONLY thing thing that saved him from the ticket he would get when he got pulled over twice a week. That vid does not do it justice....that car is STOOPID LOUD!

If you look around, you can find a used catted MRT H for not too much....I paid $300 shipped for mine off M1R.

 

thats my favorite youtube video and the reason i was considering getting the O/R MRT. That car is/was :-( my favorite youtube mustang haha.

"I paid $300 shipped for mine off M1R."???? What is M1R?

How do you like yours?

 

lol is that pic of you car in the sig the same parking lot he did his drive bys in??
