I have a mac x pipe and i love it. Its the offroad x pipe. It wont pass emissions but thats what the stock exaust is for. It makes the car sound so good and it gives you a decent amount of hp. I would recommend one with cats though(takes away two of them and replaces the other two with high flow cats)because its alot less of a pain when emissions comes around. I like mine alot the and would definatly recommend an x pipe.

Iam sorry. idk if i answered any of your question. Iam confused a little on what you mean. It just goes from the headers to where your cat back exaust would start. It just ends right after the last cat but they sit alittle higher to because there are no cats in the way unless you get the on with the high flow cats. Idk if that helped but i tried.

if your gonna go with mac i would suggest the pro chamber rather than the x pipe. i almost went with pypes x pipe until i had to cut off the hangers and weld them to the floor pan because of fitment issue. they werent long enough on one to hang in the holder under the tranny for them.

another thing to keep in mind is that mac suggest installation of their x or pro chambers to be used with mac shortyheaders and stock headers. the reason im telling you this is because ive seen guys have problems with the same setup i have but they left their bbk shortys on and they didnt fit correctly.
