Default What pipes to get?

got bbk's 1 3/4" ceramic long tubes
now i need the pipe to go with.
i think i want to try O/R X or H

should i get the BBK pipes to go with the headers?
or is there a better brand out there?

Good choice with the off roads.But to be honest i really dont think the X or H will be noticeable on the street.So i say get whatevers cheaper.

I would probably get the summit brand O/R pipe they have both h and x.

When I got my car it had the stock H with the cats hallowed out so it still looked like they were there but they weren't. I def saw a difference when I put my X-pipe on. All the tests I've ever seen have said X's give you more Hp, but people also say they loose a little low end torque. There's tons of threads about this issue. Check those out.

well i love the sound of my current H
so i guess ill go with a street legal shorter H pipe to fit my headers
BBK makes some that dont seem too bad, what magnaflow mufflers do the better job?

BBK Shortie H
