Hey all,</P>


I am finally doing the exhaust on my 98 GT. So far I have ordered the Magnaflow SS Cat-back. My question is what is better/difference/performance between:</P>


<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica color=black>Bassani Off-Road X-Pipe</FONT></P>


<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica color=black>Bassani X-Pipe w/ Cat</FONT></P>


<FONT style="FONT-SIZE: 10pt" face=Verdana,Arial,Helvetica color=black>MAC H-Pipe Off-Road</FONT></P>


</P>


The prices are very different and I would like to have the best performance/price ratio. Thanks for the opinions!</P>

get the Bassani off road X pipe. i have that on my 98 GT... pretty wicked.

cats are restrictive....so go with off-road. I have H pipes, but would have preferred to go with Bassani X pipes.</P>

if you go with anything off-road whether it be X or H, be prepared to change it back when you have to get your emissions done. also your check engine light will come on with your model year when ever you run a cat-less exhaust. i got the bbk O/R X on my 96 cobra and it sounds like nothing ive ever heard. but i also live and Fl and have no emissions testing. bassini, very expensive check other options too. bbk, mac, others. good luck</P>

wouldthat 02 bypass setup they make for the after cat shut my check engine light off? i'm starting to get tired of seeing it.</P>

It tricks your ecu into thinking the O2 sensor is happy. You probably won't make it through emissions testing with them in though (if you have to).

The x pipe design scavenges gasses better giving you better flow but it tones down your exhause a little, the H is more restrictive than the x but has a louder tone. So it pretty much come down to personal preference.

Has anyone just gone with one of these: http://www.exhaustproslinc.com/magmanbenxpi.html</P>


Would you still need a Mileliminator with this installed? Also what is the measurement of the pipes if you go with the Bassani or MAC, do they come 2.5 or same as stock??</P>

If you're looking at MAC, i'd say go with long tube headers, Mac 2.5" prochamber and a 2.5" exhaust sounds wicked and you'll get awesome gains
