Stock H-Pipe....
Ok so I still haven't figured out why my car is so slow but assuming I have cats that are slowly becoming clogged it occured to me that I need new exhaust to get my car running like it used to. (Used to do 0-60 in 6.9 stock now it is 9.6)
Well the problem was I wanted to do exhuast last, intake first. Why? I want it to be a sleeper as long as possible and believe me nothing screams modded faster than loud exhaust.
So I want to know does ANYBODY have a stock h-pipe they can sell me? If so PM me please...
Thanks

Don't buy a stock intake, I understand that you want your car to be a sleeper but your car will be much faster with a off-road h.

Don't feel like having a muffler shop chop off all 4 cats (or up to all 4) just to have them replace for the same price as a O/R.
If someone has a stock hpipe that they don't need anymore then I could be lucky and buy it for dirt cheap....maybe just even pay for shipping who knows.
Also when you say 75 for shipping?....is that 75 JUST for shipping?

The stock h is incredibly heavy. If you order a bbk catted mid pipe is will still keep the car from being loud but flow better and would work just as good on keeping emissions down. You have to remember the cats in our fords is old technology. Theres a 2 way cat in there for co and hc, and a seperate cat after them for nox. Now the bbk cats are 3 way cats and reduce co, hc, and nox emissions. Also getting cats replaced is not going to cost you $150 espicialy if your getting 4. It will cost you at most muffler shops anywhere from 75 - 150 per cat plus instalation and misc parts. Getting an aftermarket mid pipe from bbk which you can get shipped free from summit would be your best bet.

Trust me I have no problem getting one but that is money that I would have to find somewhere....just looking for the cheaper route.
