Default h-pipe problem/help

ok well i was planning on putting a mac catted h-pipe on my car to make it a little lounder and help my car breath better after i build the motor. now heres the problem, my uncle has a brand new stock h-pipe for my car that he will give me if i want it but i dont think i want to put on another stock mid pipe. i just think if i say no to him and buy a aftermarket one he might b mad. idk wat to do and idk if u can modify the stock 4 cat h-pipe

thanks

I have an offroad H and itr isn't too loud. Get the freebee, and buy and offraod H..if it is too loud put the free one on and sell the off road H. I wouldn't waste my money for a high flo catted H

those cats arent gunna help it breathe. over stock yes but the stock exhaust doesnt even breathe. its only there to restrict the motor at all possible costs..

2.5" aluminum bbk h-pipe - $160
1 5/8" chrome bbk headers $160

$320 for a header-to-muffler setup

i bet the h-pipe ur lookin at cost more than that all together

not only is this way cheaper but it will give u the most performance gains. if its too loud then swap out ur mufflers.

Don't go w/ the stocker. I am still running mine, but I gutted the 1st set of cats. I just got a Prochamber, but I haven't put it in yet.....

Go OR. Worst that can happen is you get caught without cats and have to go to an inspection place. B4 u go swap the stocker back on, pass, then switch back. No big deal.
