Unless you have emissions checks just rip it off.

Sorry read it wrong, if you have emissions youll have to find a way to cut and weld a piece coming off of your new old h pipe, or get a new o/r h pipe. If youdont have the check leave it off, wont hurt anything.

If you have emissions, that pipe welded into your offroad H pipe will do you no good anyhow. Offroad has no cats which will be an automatic fail if that is hooked up or not! Keep your factory pipe just incase you need to put it back on for emissions, or check to see what your local laws require.

I suggest just plugging it somehow to keep dirt and junk from getting inside it and strap it up so it isn't dragging on speedbumps and sh8t. This way when your test comes around you will not have a battle to get it hooked back up.
