So, thanks everyone who advised on the sound of an off road pipe with my Borla stinger axel backs. Question now is HOW bad are the fumes and exhaust output with the h pipe axle back....obviously the emission will be greater, but how much..is it overpowering.....any and all advice will be appreciated. Please, no one take offense to this, I do not need the answer of I am sending your letter to the EPA or any other don't ruin the environment speeches. I am simply looking for factual based answer from people who have the setup. this is not a political statement nor a place to start a opinionated tirade on the detriments of cat-less vehicles.....

Honestly, I can't recall being overwhelmed with fumes, or anything or that nature. The car smelled normal to me, but maybe I'm immune, I dunno.

After I put an o/r X pipe on there was a noticeable difference in exhaust emissions, especially with the top down sitting at a light with the wind going the right direction. The fact that you have an H pipe shouldn't make a difference except for sound. The odors will still be present. With my long tubes there was "trumpeting" due to the o/r X pipe until I had cats put on. It was WAY TO LOUD without the cats anyway so I'll never go that route again. Another thing is if anyone ever does a visual inspection at least there will be a set of cats there to see.

..I took off the cats on mine...I could smell fumes a really little...a little less than driving an old classic or something....
