yeah i know its going to be louder and more power but is it that much of a difference from going from 2 cats to 1? or going to none? which would be better?

yeah thats what i was thinking about doing, and since i just bought the car and went thru emissions i wont have it again for 2 years but which catless pipe is best the x-pipes or h-pipes, other than way the pic is made is there a difference in power? or do i have to replace with what i have now?

the only real difference is sound, I personally have a upr offroad X and am very pleased with it, I had run a mac offroad H before and I love the sound of the X

I have a Pypes system complete with high flow catted x and have been very happy with sound and performance. Passed emissions and didn't want to be bothered switching the mid-pipe every other year.

i have a mac offroad H pipe with slp lm1 and its very loud and deep, if i had the X pipe it would be more of araspy sounds instead of a deeper sound. so what ever your preferance is for sound go with that

yeah i just ordered the new flowmaster super 44s to go with a deeper sound and louder than what i have now, but im also going to look into getting a catless h pipe.. but also debating building a strip car so it may wait.
