i have magnapacks, my buddy had them on his gt too now has a mach, he had them with a o/r prochamber, sounded ****ty, i had them with an o/r and it was wicked sounding always had complements, now i have LT headers with a o/r h pipe because they dont make a LT x pipe and it still sounds sweet at WOT, if staying with stock manifolds get the o/r X, i had upr had great fitment and is cheaper

O/R x-pipe! I have a VRS x-pipe with my Magnapacks and LOVE the sound. It has just the right loudness. Any louder and it would be obnoxious and any quieter it would be too quiet.

Don't mind the poor numbers...

It could get a little raspy with a o/r h and stock manifolds. Sometimes straight through style mufflers and o/r pipes (usually o/r h pipes) don't mix very well.

Thanks everyone. It looks like o/r x pipe is the popular choice. How hard is it to install a mid-pipe? Is it something I could do myself or should I pay a shop to do it? Also is there anyway to pass emissions with a o/r mid-pipe?

Once you install a midpipe once, it becomes easier than drinking a class of water. (Assuming you have the tools and ability to get under the car)

I'd go with an offroad X too...

I see I was called upon?

Look through these vids. I have had a bunch of diff setups on my 2v gt and my 4v Mach.

Anything o/r with the packs will e loud. I drove 16hrs to move to KY from MA with my 2v gt that was with o/r x and magnapacks....I wanted to shoot myself. Within a month of being here I had cats welded in.

I would go catted X and packs.
