New catted x pipe on the market
Hey all,
As many of you know, I am a huge advocate of the Magnaflow catted x pipe. Great sound and high quality piece. Now I've been looking around lately as I have been thinking about changing my exhaust and I'm wanting a bit louder exhaust tone, but not like o/r x loud. This morning i took a look through Lethal Performance's exhaust section to see this new jem...

Now I know that its expensive and Im sure I could get it cheaper(friend is a magnaflow dealer), but i just wanted to share this with all of you who were debating the magnaflow catted x already to say you might want to look into this over the regular magnaflow catted x. I might also be willing to sell my current x pipe to possibly get this new one after i find out what i can get the one with race cats on it for. PM me if youre possibly interested in buying mine incase I do try to go with this new one.

why not add high flow cats you your setup for a fraction of the price??
if all you are getting is cats then it seems dumb to buy a whole new midpipe for "race cats"
don't know quality or how long they last but:

have something like that welded/clamped in

Well my setup already has cats. Its the regular catted x that magnaflow offers. Im wanting to switch because i dont feel like cutting out the regular cats and having other race cats welded in for $100 a pop when i could probably sell my midpipe for $300 and buy the new one for less than $500 and have a brand new midpipe. This is all in theory, but it seems to work for me in my head. lol

hey whatever floats your boat man lol if you bought the ones i listed at ~$40 plus shipping for the 2.5" ones then weld them in for $50 total...
but i think you may be splitting hairs if you want to upgrade your cats from "ragular ones" which are prob still high flows to "race" cats just for added sound i dont suspect the differance in sound to justify taking old midpipe out put new one in hassle.

Ive got it down to a science man. lol had this one on and off for o/r midpipe install and then put back on for inspection a couple times now. So its all good. But yea, it might be. But its something im willing to look into.

I guess I'm confused.. what's the point of an O/R catted mid pipe? Why not just skip the cats entirely? In the description they say it's an O/R mid-pipe, I can only assume it won't pass emissions... so what's the benefit over a standard O/R mid pipe that's $150?
The only inspection that this might pass is a visual... but for $600+.. no thanks.
