$75 BBK catted H pipe
Might be picking one up tonight. Any considerations in swapping it in? Will it pass emissions (assuming it passed before)? Will the thermactor pipe bolt right in?Might I find it too loud? Will I lose torque? Thanks, fellas.

if ur stocker dosnt pass, keep it, buy this one, and gut the cats on the stocker.
run the bbk to pass emission, and run the stocker for louder sound (it dosnt sound right but it makes sense lol)

RE: $75 BBK catted H pipe
I just put a BBK h-pipe on mine replacing the stock h-pipe after 100+k miles and there was a very noticible difference both power and sound. The sound first is awesome. I've got a mac exhaust on it right now and had my wife take it up the street. I could hear her getting on it a mile away from the house, I was rolling. 
Inside, it's louder, but notcrazy. Performance, I noticed a big difference over 2k rpms, definitely seemed to go through the gears faster. Definitely do it though.

Hey Twisted, I've got almost the same setup as yours. I've got a 5sp, 3.55's, underdrive pullies, k&n filter, bbk h-pipe, mac exhaust, and that's about it. My timing's at 12 deg, and have a 180 deg thermostate. Pretty standard stuff. It's worth it man, wait until you hear the difference. If you've got the stocker on there, it will be a good change.

RE: $75 BBK catted H pipe
Thanks, Goat. Unfortunately, someone beat me to the sale. The seller was being lazy about taking the pipe off of the car, and some chump ran in and bought the whole car last night. Oh well. I'm still gonna get an h pipe though...it'll just cost hundreds more[:@]. Thanks anyway, fellas.
